The pain you feel is real
Pain felt by others is not pain felt by you
Focus on that felt by you

Absorb it
Feel it
Live it

For you are not given this pain without reason
To learn, to grow, to experience as you wait for something better, whatever it may be
Just don’t live ignoring the pain you’re meant to feel

The highs wouldn’t be as high without the lows and the sun wouldn’t be as special without the rain before

I promise things will get better, but please live where you are
Please

I still don’t know when enough is enough
Am I hurting myself?
So much time that you’ve lived in my mind
Tired of not knowing when enough is enough

Two souls connecting for a fleeting moment
Drunk on the words of one another
The moment seemed so timeless
No one besides you and I

Trivial bodies, they only held the medium with which we connected
Two people beyond the grasp of space and time
Intoxicated on the realization we aren’t alone
We become one that night

I pray our paths cross again, someday, somewhere
Night prematurely left, and I am left pondering the notion we still have the magic we need
Foundation laid with no time to build
Pure momentary bliss with someone I may never see again
