love does not fade
it transforms
like matter
like the ashes from a forest fire that burnt down millennia ago
the fishes that swam upon a tepid lake
the first words of an innocent child
the last breaths of a dying mother
the fur on my coat from my beloved cat
the grief of losing what we once thought was our world
so much that we tell ourselves no one else could ever compare
because the truth is, no one will ever compare to you (no one ever does)
even after our bodies crumble back to the earth
and until only the dust of the earth remains
i know for certain
this love will never fade

you'll be in my heart, always
may we find ourselves, dear
