Maybe tonight I’ll light a candle
and think of you while it burns
I haven’t done that in a while….
I’m beginning to understand
that we
weren’t meant to be together
but my heart aches for you
I started thinking of all the reasons
you put distance between us
Now I know why
When we were together
it was so hard not to fall in love with the way you smiled when you were nervous
the way you looked at me when you thought I wasn’t looking
the way you would brush my hair out of my face when I was reading in your lap
every time you took my hand in yours
I fell a little bit more into the deep abyss of Love
I know
you felt it too
It was too hard breathing as one
Our Love
wouldn’t go anywhere
You put distance
to protect me
You thought
things would be better
if we just stopped seeing each other
It worked.
But long restless nights I spend
walking along the sandy beaches in the moonlight
I’m reminded of our conversations and the way you held onto my hand just a bit tighter when I said I had to go
and I
miss
you.
