How can a passion this deep and real fade into nothingness with the morning light-- every time we're together? Then reignite again to white hot when the feelings stir you? What prompts that phone call, the heartfelt conversations, and the desire for my arms around your neck again? What draws you to me after weeks of silence? Is it the sadness you carry like a bag of hammers, or the aloneness you crave that sometimes consumes you? How many 'I love you's' will you say out loud before you believe your own words? How many times must you hear it from me to know that what we have is rare and good? You gave your heart to me 2 years ago, and I haven't ever returned it, so that would make it still mine. You will never duplicate these feelings with anyone else, no matter who, or where, or when. Even in the arms of someone else more beautiful and desirable, you will still long for what we shared. This is a forever kind of love that isn't going away... it won't fade or crumble. It's more resilient than the nose cone of the Space Shuttle or a cement patio in an Illinois winter. We've both tried to move on with our lives, love other people... forget we existed. We couldn't. We must find a way to make permanent space for each other somewhere inside us, or we will carry this torment into the next life. |
