It seems everyone
Knew.
I was getting ****** over,
Again
Again
Again.
Everyone

But me.

I was blinded
     By façades
     By words
     By love.

Now, I see.

The one sided Conversations.
The tears.
The lonliness.
The fears.

I’ve found Clarity,Love, Best Friends,
Freedom.

I appreciate the pain,
Because it made me more.
I love the rage, because its burned through
It all.

I’ve learned to keep
My eyes wide,
To remember it all.
I’ve seen the necessity of Appreciation,
Of savoring each
Moment.

You never know when or
If you’ll lose it.

Tomorrow
Today,
Never.

I’ve let go,
Set myself free.
I’m planning futures And ignoring fears.
I don’t know anything
But love and
Truth.

I can see the beauty in her
Eyes.
The Light in her smile,
And I’m lifted higher,
Made lighter.

The way her hair falls
Is Magic.
Her beauty is found between
Caught breaths and the pages of novels.

Her love is
               pure,
               Innocence,
               Magnificent.
Together, we are more.
We don’t need each other
We want each other.

Our love is more
Than words
Than time
Than platonic.
Her eyes in mine fill
                    The silences.
Her hands on mine break
                    The barriers
Her mouth over mine
                   Builds anew.
Creates.
Sets me free.
