Gone

Today  the rain has not seized, 
as if the Earth had something
it needed to get off it’s chest.
This day and I have one similarity.
We both cry.
The sky decides to express its sadness externally, 
and I 
internally.
The pain 
in my chest 
won’t allow me to forget 
how real it felt, 
how deeply I felt your love.
What changed?
For all I offered were my good intentions and a welcoming heart. 
I must have forgotten that love is not harbored inside everyone.
Was my touch 
not enough?
Did my love 
scare you?
Were we too 
different? 
Possibly too alike.
Perhaps out of our many similarities,
Love 
was never meant to be.
