Faded Love

At times i find myself lost in reason Time sure does go by fast in our lives, or I say our personal prison Is not the moon so radiant as it stares at the sun Doesn't the heart ache when we love and love is absent If only I were the wind to caress your face once more in invisibility The days seem to burn into history ever so quickly My soul fears about tomorrow and what it might be How long ago was it when the butterflies in my stomach were set free I almost forgot how love even felt Oh the days I had your warm embrace How i wish those steps I could retrace So different today would I be seen in joy and glee I often step outside my dreams and try and skip to a fading reality You were yesterday and not today Only the memories linger still To kiss you once more I'd give anything Doesn't our past love haunt you too Perhaps it wasn't as real as it was to my heart Oh soul of mine wont you smile with me I miss you so, perhaps in our next life we will be once again Until then my sweet love, don't forget me as time forgets us all Be still and let me be like the whispering winds of tales of past love Of yesterday when it was about us

You clearly fell hard, to love so deeply is a testament to being lovable in ones self. Loosing a love can be heart wrenching, just remember not to loose yourself, and continue to love yourself as someone who is worthy of such emotions too.

Many moments and emotions touch the heart. Love being close, yet so far away. This is beautiful and tender, all at the same time. ~ Brandy

Deeply felt writing. I'm sure it will trigger many others' faded loves.
