Indelible- He Wrote

He wrote… That the mark was indelible The mark that I’d left On his 15 year old heart He wrote… That though he’d had to leave His broken heart was obsessed With thoughts of who was going to… Hold me Caress me Kiss me And how dare he? He wrote…. That there was still a part Of his 45 year old heart That had my sweet name Written all over it In love’s indelible ink Indelible He wrote… That at 43 I still had that sparkle Still was adorable Beautiful Warm And I still had That incredible smile He wrote… That I would always be his girl Though there were others in our lives And we had been driven apart Our love unresolved… We needed to explore The new realities Slowly building Something new Now that we had found Each other again He wrote… That if he could Right there Right then He’d leave everything Cross the continents and oceans And walk through my door Sweep me in his arms And do everything He never had the chance To do before This time… He wouldn’t be afraid To kiss me Did I want him to kiss me? He wrote….. That he had never left me Not really Not in his heart Or in his mind And he never would Never again……. Indelible He wrote… And he wrote… And like a fool…I believed him And opened up my little heart Only to find…. The indelible mark Of pain That he’d left behind On my 13 year old heart Indelible....
