Until. Next. You.

One

true love in my life

A place within your being where I was truly seen

I could melt into your essence with just one look

For every embrace to be a real one

Connected in a deep knowing  that seeing yourself was seeing the other 

I knew this other thing wasn’t what we knew as real, it wasn’t the

One

No matter how we tried to spin it 

Give it time

Or ... overlook

How someone feels about you is revealed in the way that they touch you

Love wants to feel your presence even when you are near and the thought of your being in the distance is excruciating 

A chance we were unwilling to take 

You never have to force 

Anything

or make it fit

It just is, 

we 

just 

were

All you ever had to do was be

All you have to do now

Is

Be

It’s funny how God finds a way to get things through (to us)

Looking at moments in time, in rewind

A sort of Time Capsule 

And the reality of what is pure and what isn’t becomes so clear

Apparent-ly

To think of the lengths we’ve gone...

to still be together & the help we've had

along the way

Although apart but able to see

That

If love isn’t like that

It's unwanted

An unloving love only does those like us who know...

more

damage

I admit to myself what really happened

I wanted it to be you but I knew that you couldn’t stay... so with our love in my soul

I turned the page, feeling privileged

Only

To realize that I’ve never let you go & I am not sure that I ever wanted to

or if I want to now 

But in this moment

I have a certainty, 

I know that I once knew

Had

Felt

Saw

Experienced 

Inhaled 

Basked

In true love

We made an agreement and I guess neither of us desired to break it… so until God tells me what to do next

I’ll tell you...

I love you ❤️
