Most Precious

I can close my eyes, It's weird how still you are the last thought on mind. I say, 'you and me' I say, ' still with you' It's weird how I carry your name forward each and every passing day Despite all conflicts Most precious I was an emotional high; 'Emotional high,' I said My words not yours Something you couldn't get off without experiencing Whatever love It's already done and done Your grand scheme of plans, Did it all work out, Most precious? Were you land? Were you ground? Were you earth? Were you stone? Were you pillar? Most precious When you left love, It felt like the earth had crumpled from underneath my feet No footing No ground No standing Nothing to grasp much less hold Love you were cruel Most precious I stood there on nothing Cry, I cried Weep, I wept Thought and contemplated Scared to death, Love was I going to fall? After all most precious you were still precious Probably still are Probably will still be Most precious Love I realised, You were the ocean, And underneath you I drowned unaware. You were gravity, And under you I became grounded Without you, most precious From under I came Ashore I arrived Love, I was lighter even.
