You, And here I am. The remnants of a once great love. Holding in such a silent plea. A great person once said to me, " don't ever bend, don't ever brake, don't ever cry, and always ride out the storm". I wish this was not my way. But I know no other. Every night I read an extra chapter of my book for you. I run an extra mile. I add another ten pounds to my bench. For you, I spend an extra minute staring at the moon. And at the bar, I drink an extra gin & tonic. No matter what I do extra, it will never give back the significance of you in my life. So much misery you have sentenced me. I still am in shock. But as my reason returns so does the truth reveal. Conditions of my love were no different than any others. What everyone who loves wants. You said I gave into jealousy. No. I wouldn't let myself be jealous. That I can control. But it is the pain I cannot. The same pain that defeats my will to love again. Suddenly we were no longer a priority to you. Suddenly I became overwhelmed with vague explanations for questionable actions and attitudes. And the distance grew. I tried to warn you. Tried to bring you back to what we shared but you were lost. You are so young at this thing called love. For only someone that doesn't know how rare love is could have walked away as you did. I promised that I would wait for you. And although you think I didn't, I did wait for you. Only until I realized you weren't coming back.... Me |
