Unraveled Tapestry
Our love, a vibrant tapestry once bright,
Woven with laughter, secrets whispered in the night, Now frayed and torn, beyond the art of mend,
A broken vase, its pieces without end.
A dull ache settles, heavy in my chest,
Acceptance's path, a truth I must confess.
No rewind exists, no chance to start anew,
That final dinner, the "I love you" tinged with blue.
Stolen moments, conversations long and deep,
Lost in the past, where memories softly sleep. Hindsight's sting offers no solace here,
Only the future, its path both harsh and clear.
The dreams we built, a mirage in the sand,
Familiar cafes echo with your hand.
Bookstore aisles hold phantoms of your touch,
Your face in crowds, a vision loved so much.
Memories, a double-edged sword they wield,
Joy and sorrow, emotions unconcealed.
A missing you, a constant, dull refrain,
A heart that learns a rhythm not the same.
Lonely nights stretch with emptiness untold,
An ache that lingers, a story yet to unfold.
But life persists, the sun will rise anew,
And love, though different, may find its way to you.
Someone who sees the depths your gaze missed then, Who finds delight in the quirks that make me men. Mornings will come, the emptiness a blur,
Time's gentle touch, a balm that starts to cure.
Letting go, the hardest task I'll face,
For both of us, to find a happier space.
A love-filled heart, etched with memories bright,
Releases you, with a bittersweet goodbye.
Happy endings, though separate they may be,
The one who got away, a haunting memory.
Reasons you had, a path you chose to tread,
Unanswered questions forever in my head.
Did you mean it all? Was there more yet to say?
Could things have changed in some forgotten way?
Now acceptance's hand must gently guide,
Letting go of what can't forever reside.
Losing you, a wound that still remains,
Missed moments echo, whispered through the lanes.
You might not feel it, or even think of me,
But know this, my love, a part of you is free.
The back door's unlocked, if ever you should yearn,
But understand, if your path takes a different turn.
I miss you, love you, forever etched within,
A tapestry unraveled, a love that used to spin.
