For You Alone

Once again for my ex-girlfriend. Distance between us was growing and I attempted to keep things on track with my words.

Pain

That is the start of it all

Odd place for this kind of story

But we can not deny our past

We can only look to our future

Time

It heals all wounds they say

I tend to agree

But you came along a sped it all up

Odd thing is, I never asked you to

Amazing

I was so ready to settle

Dig into the life of solitude

While we knew one another before

Something sparked between us like none other before

Fear

Something we both had about it

Only words between us

Physical proximity a crux

Then we saw one another for the first time

Comfort

We were like old friends catching up

As if it were just a few months back

Years have passed before our eyes

Many more years we can share

Love

We both have said it before

At times we may have thought they deserved it

Now we know better

Scars we both can help the other heal

Close

Only once have I held you

Yet it felt so right

We had a night of laughs and great time

We slept as the the world woke to the sun

Goodbye

Something I never want to say to you

Nor hear passes from your soft lips

An obligation I can not ignore

I will see you again my muse even if only in thought

Distance

Or shadow we still carry

Helpless to change circumstance

The only barrier left after fear was washed away

Soon to be no more
