~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How did our love disappear?
bewildered, akin to an eerie shear.
where our wishes wane
seeming truly suitable,
In your stead.
I reached a radical height.
How did our love fade?
If you'd known,
I'm dangling, fragile, and taut.
We'll weave a worn web for you.
If you'd known,
a heart oblation, openly prone.
Before you leave me,
I cling to the letters you ebbed,
I vow what life has taught me.
You preach grief and suicide!
A gloomy aura surrounds you.
But I believe there is hope.
A light will guide you through.
find assistance and support.
You are not alone.
Let's descry and embrace together.
It's a path you can call your own.
yet it crushes my spirit.
If you had, but knew.
Your speech is a compelling dance.
holding me riveted and on threshold.
I strive to convey your delight.
In whispers, our concepts merge.
making me stumble and fall,
We have a sturdy friendship bond.
If you had the slightest clue,
You ooze exceptional appeal.
a precious gem, so rare and fair
Seeing you makes me ecstatic.
In you, my muse, I find my dignity.
Your proximity makes me feel snug.
the master of wisdom,
In shards, my heart breaks.
You put it back in tandem.
Halting my fall.
If you'd known
By my side, you're not here.
A restless dance is my heart's plea.
Should I cease drowning tonight?
Revive me from this slumber.
exhale your breath into me,
You are the sole focus.
of my unwavering faith,
If you had, but knew.
In a sphere where bluebirds sing,
Butterflies dance on a halcyon breeze.
Softly swaying, as summer grass.
by stream edge, where water flows
A single step leads; beyond one follows.
upon a well-worn trail of love's desires
The willows bend and whisper low.
as hearts flutter and freely bestow.
Elysian laughter resounded.
above the cliffs of limestone
and tiny pines giggled in reply.
Such a sight they'd never beheld!
We've strolled this path countless times.
where the first dandelions sprout
while deer were observed as bystanders.
as if kissing our alibis, snowflakes,
In a state of fledgling desire,
Our souls lit up with fervent fire.
He felt as free as the soaring skies.
We nourished them, you and I.
If you only knew...
