Lessons On Love: Part Ii

How strong the connection was between us,
How forcefully it controlled our hearts.
A feeling we’d never felt with anyone else,
And a moment I wished could have remained.

Then it altered itself into something unknown
And I stood amidst someone I didn’t know,
And I sank in the quicksand of his mixed feelings,
And I was buried alive by his indecisiveness.

I hoped for change in a changeless being,
Giving more and more of myself,
Roaming in a valley of sleepless nights,
Seeking a fairy-tale ending to a tragedy.

His morning scent still rests on my pillows,
The cologne still hangs in my closet,
Imprints of his touch remain on my skin,
But they will soon fade to memories.

And sadly my thoughts of him will linger,
But the love I knew has ended,
As I prepare for a new beginning,
I complete the last chapter of this story.
