Cusp of Autumn

Standard

Another month goes by. The seasons change.The days begin and end. Yet my love for you never leaves me and the pain you caused me never subsides. I wonder if, maybe you have a moment of weakness as I do, and that maybe a part of you just wants to forget and wipe the slate clean. To let the autumn rain wash away all our mistakes and let our hateful words die with the leaves. But then I remember, even if you do have this moment, even if you do think about the past or how things could have been, then I remember that actually there is no amount of love and repair that your moment of weakness can hold to fix the place we are in at the moment. Even if you do think about me, you still make the choice on every autumnal morning to leave us in this place of hatred and longing. This place of the unknown and unsaid. You still leave me here, and that was always my biggest fear. That you would lose me and never come after me. After all, sometimes we have to runaway just to see who will come after us and save us and show us how much we really mean to them.

Only you never came after me. You let me go, and I, in my moment of stupidity and curiosity let myself go too far. Now you will never come to save me and I will never return. We will forever be walking our lives alone. For all we ever wanted was for the other to show us love. And that my dear, is my greatest regret

 

The moment

Standard

The moment,
I can so easily cast my mind back to it,
To us,
To us standing there,
My hands in his pockets,
His arms wrapped around me.

Protecting me,
Holding me,
His head resting on mine,
My head tucked under his chin,
His voice vibrating in his chest against my ear.

His familiar smell,
His warmth,
His dominance,
His eyes looking down into mine,
His cocky,yet warm , sweet smile,
His nose against mine,
My body pressed against his,
His soft tender lips pressing against mine,

The butterflies in my stomach,
The smile on my lips,
The moment of complete content,
The moment I never want to forget…..
