almost never

i'm not sure how many years i have left

death is such a fickle beast

but i know

i haven't regretted one minute of love

no matter the ending 

the pieces of my heart 

left in the driveway

i hear this song

it mines the wells in my eyes

but we were never meant to be 

an ocean between us

we could only believe

as long as the water would last

every time i see your picture

i fall in love again

but i know i can't have you

and i want you to

love again

sometimes i look through every window

if only for a glimpse of your spirit

you always had a butterfly for a heart

maybe that's why my windowsills are

filled with every color of flower

and i tell myself i won't be sad

but i know

i'm quite adept at

telling lies to myself

Beautiful. A key to open tender reflection and so many what if and if only's..

Oh this is so poignant it tears at my tender heart strings. For lost love, for things that should have been but never happen. Keep on penning.
