When You'Re Gone

It was supposed to be a prayer together for starters. Still as fresh as the morning breath I take, I took in your face from the side for starters. I held on to that negligence I partook of . Had I held your hand then maybe it wouldn't have taken me this long to know I rose in love 10 times higher than my fears. I didn't expect this turn of events. I mean you of all people had to be the MC of my heart's events. I didn't see this coming. I was too busy convincing myself I'm an independent contractor when I had already signed the love contract your presence brought with it. How do I face myself now that even my heart can't tell my mind what's happening. I'm tossed in a corner of queries, what is it that made me melt this fast? It definitely was your smile that first tripped me over with a touch of a fist bump until I met your hilarious side, I laughed hard that I didn't feel any aftermath pain. I prayed for so long to have my heart beat again and it had to be you. I'm happy love grew in my heart and I don't expect you to do the same. My love is enough to make me deny the truth and believe the lies playing in my mind. I don't love you for something you possess, I love you and your beautiful soul with all your imperfections. I have written love before but this one is tenderly from my heart for I'll break when you go but I'll be more than happy to let you go . I live to rejoice in this place . To cherish every moment spent. To live in the moments long gone and sigh with relief. Love is a beautiful thing when it's not forced. Oh, what can I say, the universe had it's own ways of playing me at my ignorance . It placed me in awkward situations to make me realize how high I had risen without recalling the moment I tripped over. I wish you the best of life. Love from the girl that built walls so high that she had to climb them herself unknowingly and now she's on the other side. Beautiful things happen when one is busy getting ahead. If you're just passing by, thank you for I have learnt my heart can beat too. Take a sip, free your mind and see all the ultraviolet rays take the rythm of your dances into motion. It's an uphill journey, there's no easy way out. Love will come your way too when you're ready to believe. You won this time and I'm the fool who fell when I was climbing higher. That's the way it is but it'll be lonely here when you're Gone.
