You know I tried, In so many ways I tried. I tried to be friends I tried to keep in touch. I tried to forget you. I tried to fight for you. God did I try, And try, And try, And try, And try. You didn’t seem to notice it, You barely seem to notice me. I tried so very often, That I was surprised to notice, One day I didn’t care. I didn’t care if I got a text back, I didn’t care if I got a letter back, I didn’t care if you even wanted to see me. I always expected my detachment from you, To be like a tree falling. Noisy, Messy, Painful, Ugly; But it was nothing like that. It was like a leaf falling. Silent, Gentle, Graceful, Painless. -ALC April 19, 2018

The Grace in Falling
You know I tried, In so many ways I tried. I tried to be friends I tried to keep in touch. I tried to forget you. I tried to fight for you. God did I try, And try, And try, And try, And try. You didn’t seem to notice it, You barely seem to notice me. I tried so very often, That I was surprised to notice, One day I didn’t care. I didn’t care if I got a text back, I didn’t care if I got a letter back, I didn’t care if you even wanted to see me. I always expected my detachment from you, To be like a tree falling. Noisy, Messy, Painful, Ugly; But it was nothing like that. It was like a leaf falling. Silent, Gentle, Graceful, Painless. -ALC April 19, 2018
