So they say I have to move on,
let go,
and get on with my life.
And I will.
I guess that's easy to say.
but let this be known:
it's heart wrenching to do.
For you are entwined with me,
interlocked,
a puzzle which I have yet to solve.
Incomplete
my soul cries:
"I'm not finished with this yet!"
But, to save my sanity,
I must place you back where
I found you.
But I shall never forget.
You are, and always
will be
my first.
Not in a crude sense,
you never plucked this
flower
no matter how sweet
it may have looked.
Instead you tended to it.
and so I felt your love.
Not a disney love,
with songs and dances
nor a first love,
for that scar's been faded
long with time now.
Not even
kind love.
You were never cruel.
But I cannot say you never pained me.
You gave me what you would,
I could not ask for any more
than that
With you, I was safe.
And for that, I am
eternally grateful.
So, good bye my laughter,
my song,
my evolutionary fellow ;)
I pray we can meet again,
as travellers,
on the path of friendship.
When you look back,
if you look back,
please think of me well.
I shall always cherish our memories,
and if we can never again be entwined
in heartbeats,
soul,
or body
Let us be entwined here.
For me,
time will never age this.
ps. Purple forever.
From the feline to the monkey: Thank you for your companionship...much love. ***
