is this really happening?
is this how it’s meant to be?
we stood together
and promised each other
forever.
I guess forever
is not a promise that can be kept.
I guess forever
is never permanent.

You are a quiet voice in a thunderstorm storm,
Your cadence precise and certain.
You are a cherry blossom,
an offering to show me a hidden view.
You are the gentle touch that
trails down my spine.
You are the brown eyes and freckles
that I gaze at while you talk.
You are a small piece of my heart,
That stays tucked close to my chest.
You are the ache that my arms feel,
to pull you close and hold you.
You are the waves that wash over me,
in moments of sadness and fear.
You are the cherry blossom,
in outstretched hands.

People can still hurt you,
Even though they love you.
You can still love someone,
Even though they hurt you.
You can still hurt someone,
Even though you love them.

There is
No timetable
For grief.
It comes.
It goes.
No rhyme.
No reason.

What am I,
When you don’t look at me?
What am I,
When you stare straight through me?
What am I,
When you turn away from me?
I am a sigh,
A tear,
A shout,
Away from being nothing.

My heart
Has moved on
Once already.
My heart
Must move on
Once more.
My heart
Aches for you,
But cannot go back
To what it moved on from.

Come closer,
Let me see you.
Come closer,
Let me hear you.
Come closer,
Let me feel you.
Come closer,
Misty Eyed.
Let me heal you.
Come closer,
No need to fear.
Come closer,
For I am here,
To wrap my arms
Around your frame.
Come closer,
Misty Eyed,
And be free
To feel all that you feel.

I have lost myself,
Have you seen my soul
Anywhere?
Am I in the darkness of night,
With the summer heat?
Am I in the the threads of fabric that
Get tossed in the wash?
Am I in the stretch marks on my skin
Evidence of what my body can do?
Am I in my own reflection,
Deep in the void in my eyes?
Will I feel warmth in my heart again?
Will I feel the flame of passion
Rise up in me again?
Will I ever be whole again?

Take my hand,
Deep breathes and soft lips,
I never thought I’d find a love like this.
With every kiss and quiet moan,
I know I’ve found a love of my own.
Take my whole life too,
I know I’m damaged, this is true.
But you say “show me your scars, I’ll help you through.”
I gave you my heart, and you gave me yours too,
So together we stand, hand in hand.
For I can't help falling in love with you.

I feel like a stranger to you,
and you to I.
I can only pray that I will see you again,
with mended hearts and rested heads.
My friend,
I hope this is not the end.
