There Came a Time

I realized how different you now
needed it to be, so I had to step back. After years of wanting me near you, you needed something different at the end. You needed time alone to think back on Life, as it was being drained away from you. You needed to stop looking in the mirror at a body you didn’t recognize and didn’t want me to see. It was time for both of us to live in a world of memories, separate but sharing the same thoughts. I don’t know what it was like for you to be lying there in pain, processing your impending death. I don’t know what it was like for you to be alone with your thoughts and how you came to terms with the sadness of it all. But we had laid a foundation of love, built over years, that served as a launching pad as you pushed off into the world of Angels. The momentum was there for you to take flight, wearing my love like a pendant that you will reach for, sometimes unconsciously, to remind you that wherever you are my love for you is touching you, dangling against your heart. |
