Love Poem: Our unfinished story?

Our unfinished story?

You were nothing. 
Closing any chapter with you feels like heartbreak, 
The small crinkle that the crack makes, 
That little sigh my heart takes, 
You, oblivious to the stakes.
Hoping you only look this good in my arms. 
Hoping you only miss me when you’re drunk. 
Hoping for you. 
Wishing you understood; you were poetry I wove with my own two hands. 
You were ordinary but in my mind you were magic.
My love turned you into flowers blooming at cemeteries
and rain filling up crevices of drought. 
But 
You and me; 
We’re a living testament that loving someone is not nearly enough. 
The pain won, 
But I hope you know, to me,
You will always be worth the inconvenience.
I will always remember you; 
In little flowers behind ears 
and rearview mirrors,
In Parked cars conversations, 
and last minute cancellations.
You were everything political 
You were everything painful 
You were everything heartbreaking 
You were everything beautiful 
You were everything I once wanted
You were everything mine 
You were everything.
