My heart felt heavy in the spaces of your musical farewell
I knew then, with certainty I lacked before, that I cared for you Far more than our prescribed roles allowed for I knew then, as you played your own composition, That I’d failed you in some ways But in others I still wondered --- about hours that felt like minutes, about how the time between us was art Something in all that I am found home in something you are It screams within me for more time and less boundaries neither of us can give
You’ll leave soon, the urgency to make meaning is stifling because I’m afraid I could love you But will never know You’ll build a life, one you’ve already planned and I’ll miss you like crazy, wishing I’d been around for the planning years before Forever changed by thoughts and stars in November Changed by thoughts and stars of you during our only season
I’ll send some light and love when I think of you, of our maybe, perhaps, our almost When you feel the air exchange in and out It carries my thoughts; a little light and a little love From one, of two people, whose only regret wasn’t the mistakes either of them made But simply That we didn’t have more time.
