I don’t know why you had to leave
But you left.
I can’t believe the words you spoke,
Except as filtered flickers of the truth.
It’s ok.
The rain still falls and the leaves still wave on a Saturday.
The music we love still plays,
Still stirs my heart on a lazy day
Even if you are not here,
Even if you are somewhere miles away.
I will not follow anyone’s rules on love.
I will not follow anyone else’s heart.
I will lay here and heal
I will remember you, feel you here
I’ll let the stealthy rain cry my eyes’ tears
Imagine they kiss your lips, cheeks, hands, hair
As I still wish to do,
As I still love you.
