Distant Memory

Soon you'll be a memory in a pool of yesterday's recollections. A memory of bitter kisses and sweet ones too. Of long smoky nights and late morning cuddles. Of deep belly laughter and heart wrenching sobs.

Soon you'll be a memory of what was and what could have been. Of our beautiful forever that we once held so close. Of the 3 angels we never met watching us from heaven.

A distant memory locked away in the pages of this journal called life. That we attempted to pen together but were never able to finish. Our pen strokes never quite matching. Never quite flowing. You wrote too quickly and I struggled to follow your script. And when I finally caught up you were no longer with me.

Soon you'll be a memory locked away in my heart. Of purpose and strength in the face of heartbreak. And I'll hold it close as proof that we existed. That we once were. And that I survived.

Sometimes it's hard isn't it...when the script goes fast and we are not prepared for it...
I guess we are never really prepared for heart break...but then we survive it...part of our soul fragments remain with them and we move on.... to a new chapter in life....and as a distant memory they remain in the glass shelf of our heart... :)

Beautifully put!! By the way I went to your page & saw the poet you quoted. Buying both books! She is amazing! So glad I discovered her through you :)

Deep and very sad and poignant. Expressed to perfection. Heartfelt and so sincere.
