i want to write you a love song
and play it for you in memory of us
compose for you lines of the trust we drew to outline our beautiful adventure
filling it with colorful verses of the time we spent together painting our perfect picture of love
and i want to perform our song
dance for you to the pulse of my heart’s metronome that perfectly matches the beat of yours
and sing the silenced words you taught me to resonate when i miss you the most
but a song is not enough
our love stretches beyond any measure
beyond any melody recognizable to the human ear
‘cause we’ve always had our own rhythm
unable to be grasped by anyone other than us
an undying tree of potential
stretching far beyond the atmosphere
to where the procreation of our intertwined spirits lives eternally
nobody can touch it
nor can they transcend above it
except for God
who is responsible for lovingly allowing us to birth such purity
through a relationship that sailed through the calmest of the storm
to the most treacherous rapids of rapidly flooding emotion
that you gently taught me to “just flow” with
so that i may find peace within our fears
with you
once i stopped fighting against your current
i could finally see the devotion of your patience reflecting off of still waters
and now as i reflect on those same waters through our stream of memories
i realize that you were selflessly protecting me the entire time
practically drowning in my misery for me
so that i could keep my head above water to witness what strength really looks like
you restored my heart strings pulled too many times by lies and broken promises
and softly strummed the sweetest tune to sooth its wounds
a tune i still hum in my darkest of nights as i
rock myself to sleep blanketed in the warm reminiscence of every way you touched me
intangibly
you prepared me for these hard times
paid close attention to my fraternal emptiness
and filled it
with protective masculinity that you didn’t even know you were capable of emitting from your own abandoned spirit
built a foundation of expectations that i should have been exposed to from birth
expectations that not one person after you has lived up to yet
job well done my pisces partner in passion
you selflessly loved me to the point of dependency
then even more selflessly you let go of your grip on my heart strings
stood back and watched as, like a balloon, i floated away in the undercurrents of the wind
just so i could learn how to navigate them too
our final goodbye couldn’t have been sweeter, although it was masked with bitter sorrow at the time
now
in absence of you
i have grown to understand, accept, and appreciate your distinction
so that when i think of you
tears collect in your favorite dimple on the right side of my smile
because i know when times get hard
i can always look up at any tall tree in remembrance of us
with assurance that the spirit of our love is still resting in the same nest where we placed it long ago
promising each other that we would never forget what we created together
and play it for you in memory of us
compose for you lines of the trust we drew to outline our beautiful adventure
filling it with colorful verses of the time we spent together painting our perfect picture of love
and i want to perform our song
dance for you to the pulse of my heart’s metronome that perfectly matches the beat of yours
