We smile bitterly
But smile at our pain nonetheless
Because even though our hearts are aching
At least we are near. .
At least I get a glimpse of her. .
At least she can hear me. . .
At least we're together
And know that we're meant to be
And we stay,
Because
No matter what we are—
Her and I are enough.
Our love is far too real
Far too potent
To leave and expect to heal from
Or to pursue
For fear we'll implode
From our own intensity
Our love is doomed,
Too much to hold back
And too much to set free
So we'll nurse our wounds
When life tears us away
But for now, we'll pretend it's okay.
Smiling,
Margo.
