there are times
when you never imagined
that the best thing
you could do
was to let them go
that to me
is the hardest part
of loving someone
there are times
when you never imagined
that the best thing
you could do
was to let them go
that to me
is the hardest part
of loving someone
I remember a time
that we let the light
of a thousand galaxies
rush through our bodies
and even now
when I close my eyes
and get lost
in that August night
I can still feel you
all through me
just know
in between those
fleeting moments
of euphoria
that your soul
danced with mine
to a melody
that only
you and I
could hear
and here we are
once again
completely naked
bare down to our souls
and in this moment
forgetting every scar
that we wear
inside these layers
where you and I
are free
bending to become one
and our bones
are no longer
our own
no matter
where I am
or where we go
I will love you softly
within the walls
of my heart
you will always be
the one memory
that never fades
and that beautiful moment
of silence
that I desperately needed
in a world
filled with chaos
you are
a beautiful dream
I could
get lost in
just to know
what finding you
again feels like
I close my eyes
and there you are
my thoughts linger
on your gorgeous smile
and the gentle touch
of your fingers
I feel the rush
of your love
through my entirety
and I know
in this very moment
of my existence
this is where
I belong
my words are just a gasp of air living beneath my flesh as I write you into my poetry every letter I can feel your gentle touch every line resembles your smile every paragraph is filled with your soul we are the moments to come and everything before where my heart will forever be hinged with yours and I will love you beyond the extent of love
we met in between
the silence
of the universe
where day
fades into night
and the darkness
holds all the poetry
that confess
my love for you
and if only
for a brief moment
I could bend
space and time
I’d be with you
before this dream
ends

So, as I’m putting away all the Christmas decor today, I’m thinking of you. Thinking of all the memories we made and the love we shared. I wish I could have had you longer in life, but it wasn’t meant to be. I’m sorry you couldn’t stay.
This is the last thing you gave me before you left and it is still one of my favorite things, ever. I can’t believe it’s been 2 years since you left because to me it feels like it’s been a lifetime. I hate how things feel so different now without you; nothing will ever be the same.
Until we met again, I’ll visit you in my dreams and keep you alive in the memories I carry with me.
though your body
is now free
and your soul
is at rest
I miss you
and I wish
you were here
