When first we met
I think we both knew
it would someday be-
just me and you.
We talked and we shared
time ceased to exist
and all that remained-
A wonderful twist.
Although I knew
just what you could do
I believed you to be different-
Well, I believed in you.
You see you were glowing
& bright like the sun
beating back against the dark
-which I’d thought had already won.
Then something changed
the colors of our world became unclear
the day you told me
there was something I needed to hear.
I remember your words, as well as the look on your face-
when you said that for me... you had no (more) place.
With my heart subdued and head aloft,
my fall back to the Earth... was far from soft.
