I left our house that day,
Never wanting to speak to you again.
Our 'relationship' had crumbled to pieces,
But you were still trying to pick them up.
I never did say 'I love you',
Maybe because I never did.
Life finds a way,
They said,
But I never thought this would be the one.
They asked me what I had to do,
But I couldn't speak.
It hit me.
I didn't even say goodbye.
They wrapped you delicately in that silky white fabric,
Like the porcelain doll you were,
And I hated it.
It blocked those very eyes that I had fallen in love with,
Decades ago.
My little firefly,
You tried to lead me out of this darkness,
But I found comfort in the shadows.
Maybe I did love you.
Maybe I was too afraid.
Maybe...
They told me it's never too late,
But this time,
It was.
Seeing you lowered into the dirt,
I finally found myself.
I found myself longing.
I found myself longing for you.
