Her

What can I confess? I love her and that will never change.

I've tried. Nothing works. There is no way to push it out.

It will not be defeated. It is an unbeatable love. An immovable force.

It will not be controlled, it cannot be told where to go.

It simply is, and will never cease to be.

 

Rest cannot be obtained by mere sleep.

Refuge is a distant memory.

Your steps become nothing more than the distance between you and her.

Everything is her. Nothing is not about her.

Laughter is only a reminder of the type of innocent happiness you feel

When she's standing next to you.

Smiling faces are always a prelude to the glowing memory of hers.

No thought is had that isn't in some way connected to her.

 

The sun seems dim in comparison to the fire this love embodies.

It is otherworldly. It is unfathomable.

It is that brightness which cannot be perceived with the eyes or

Conceived in the body, but merely felt with the soul.

You see it more clearly through the amplification of tears,

Behind the cracks of the heart.

 

You work. You play. You sleep. You eat.

And nothing fulfills. Nothing satisfies the soul.

 

Your future is behind you.

And she stands there, grinning, waiting on you to remember her, reminding you to forget.

 

But I will not give up on her. It is not in me to let go of this love.

 

Our destiny is written in the stars. Our happy ending imprinted in my heart.
