But I didn't even say goodbye

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.
