I look back and I see vibrancy.
I look forward and I see opportunity.
So much room for happiness.
There’s nothing but time.
I look back

The love I long to give
All the love
I might have given you.
I wish
I long
Should that I could give it to you now.
Unfair, so unfavourable this circumstance.
Yet unfair is not important.
I don’t care.
I only care that the love which I can no longer give you
Which you deserve, and should have
So hopeless is my desperation
I give to another.
Not because what I feel for you has lessened
It only grows stronger
The only way I can honour
What we had.
What you were to me
No one and nothing can replace
You are my inspiration
For the air I choose to breathe
Into my aching lungs
Sorrowing from missing you.
The love that I give without remorse
I give because I think of you
All that you should have had and more.
For what you gave me
I did not realize until now
Was more than I ever could have hoped for.
Our hurried descent
I think that we are absolute.
Falling together, we are chilled and fused together, in this-
the furious confusion.
We descend in haste, fingertips grasping and frantic.
Our plight is assured, decided. Though not by us.
We know not where we will land-
only that we will land together.
In spite of their desires.
Despite the howling, the wild hindrances,
the hurried esteem, the interference of circumstance.
Cradle me from my fear and insecurities, my love.
So that I might stare them down,
knock them off their presumptuous pedestals.
For here on this rapid hailstorm, there is only room for you and me.
With tears frozen solid against our burning cheeks.
I like it a lot better this way.
Don’t you?
Some call it red
