“You are healing yourself with poetry what could be more beautiful than that?”

I loved you in silence for so much of my life and back to the silence is where I now go.

You will never not be loved by me. Not now. Not ever.

It has always been you centuries ago and lifetimes to come it will still be you.

How exhausting it is to keep running from and running to you at the same time.

All you are to me now are words on paper and I will always have a part of you as long as I am holding this pen.

There is an unfathomable distance between us but the bridge is still standing and the streetlight is still on.

I am drowning in the aftermath of the hurricane that was us.

The universe must be really tired of fighting my stubborn heart.

When my words fail to explain how I feel let my kiss tell you all you need to know.

You and me plus the sea – what more could I need.

I’ll be okay I’m used to you leaving it just hurts a little more this time.

I have left our book open. This is not how our story will end.

I will never forget the love we almost had.

And here I am hoping to travel to a parallel universe where we finally got this right.

When you are ready for the kind of love that feels like sunshine come and find me.

This time I am healing myself.
