A farewell to the one I once loved
How did I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I loved thee with open arms
Embracing, exploring
Undiscovered territories.
I loved thee in floor plans and daydreams.
I loved thee too far ahead
In places where we are yet to belong to
In places where we will never be.
In truth, perhaps, I loved you only in theory.
For how could I have loved you
When the present is shackled
And I unable to free it for I have not its key?
Have I even loved when I only fought for its potential?
Can I be blamed for trying to love prematurely?
