true love it was

You talk but I have lost your voice

Have not felt or touched you in passed weeks, seen that deep smile on your face

The light in your eyes and rose painted cheeks from happiness inside us

Or thrill in certain surroundings, me knowing because of what you have trusted me with

Even when I see you walking I wonder if it really is

I see the moonlight largely shining and long for what is over

What we haven't even done this year and won't for future summers

Because it's late September and before we comprehend the path will be split into separation

And it's hard to remember what we haven't done

I somedays curse myself and my mouth from last winter

I want to touch you again and be without worry, what my overly wild heart might feel

And just lay under jewels in black nothing under night's moonshine seal

And laugh again

Because I haven't in weeks and I want you close to see it one last time again

We once said love and meant it without regret or guilt, in deep embedded feeling so different from what I ruined it with

We once gave each other everything, while now I long for as much as a word and judge myself for it
