Sapphire

Written during the summer between freshman and sophomore year.

Whenever you come to mind,

I know my fate.

I see myself there somewhere,

somehow.

I sense the aroma of melodies

and those eyes,

the ones I haven’t seen

since I knew you,

and you knew me.

Silver,

gold,

sapphire,

falling trees,

falling faces.

But I know it will,

I know it will be,

because it’s too spectacular.

Grace has been envisioned,

and it’s the only way

to feel again and yesterday.

Ruby,

pearl,

platinum,

flowers, sight and flight.

Holding on until I’ve broken down again,

feeling faith until I fall

for only you,

when only love is true,

and only truth is lies,

when only the grounded fly.

But are you here,

and will I ever even see you

again?

You are the words I said.
