I'm faced with realities, that were only known, as concepts. Stuck in this state; a combination of fascination, mourning and inner chaos. After a decade and a half, of abusing those three words, the real thing appears. I don't recognize it's face, nothing about it seems familiar. I've been broken, for so long - did I ever know what love is? Is it wanting happiness for her, even if it means without me? Is it hoping someone can heal, the damage I've caused her? A month of absence, and she is still my focus. Accepted or not, the truth has arrived. I wish it could have been different. I wish that I could still hold her, and tell her softly, that, I still love her. I will always love her, even now, as I let her go.

Bad Timing
I'm faced with realities, that were only known, as concepts. Stuck in this state; a combination of fascination, mourning and inner chaos.

I wish that I could still hold her, and tell her softly, that, I still love her. I will always love her, even now, as I let her go.
It's a strange concept to have found what I consider to be true love at such an age in life, and even more of a tragedy, that it didn't last.
