Someday,  I'll   no  longer  ache.  
The day when  space no longer  
separates  us, and  our  worlds  
will  collide,and love will have
the  final  say. That  day you'll
be back  in  my  arms, no  more
sorrow,  and  no   more   pain.

The first day  of forever.  On that
day,  all   of  the   years   of   pain,  
all  of  the  compartmentalization,
all the excuses, all  the  cover  ups
when the tears won't stop flowing,
all of the days of barely being able
to  move  under  the  weight  of a
shattered heart...

All of those days will vanish.
They'll fade away. Grief and pain
will be no more when I can once
again see  your  face  search  for
mine.

Love  is lightening  disguised  as
a  sunset.  She will  strike  twice.
That  *****  will burn  you  alive.
 
The soul always knows what to do
to heal itself.  The  challenge  is to  
silence  the  mind.
