Us,
You and I,
Our love,
Our strength,
Our weaknesses combined,
Our stubborn ways,
Our independence creating a sense of dependence,
Dependent to love and be loved,
Expectations set higher than achievable,
Levels sporadically out of our grasp,
Miscommunications,
Failed attempts of laughs,
Reversed demonstrations of the love we once had,
Have,
Infallible infatuation,
Complexity throughout simple situations,
Our love was expected to withstand time and it stands,
Our feet facing opposite directions,
Our backs touch,
Our breathes becoming deeper,
Quiet becoming loud,
End showing a way but are we there?
Us,
You and I,
"It was" creeping up our spines,
I remember when it was you and I,
I am here,
Where are you?
I feel the warmth of your soul connected to mine,
As you stand behind,
Me,
My heart creating beautiful melodies as it's beats around yours,
I can almost feel the sweat dripping from your pours,
I can feel the hesitation and I pray it isn't ignored,
Don't take that step,
Don't become the distance that separates our love,
Our love,
Our bodies,
Our fingers,
Our chest,
Our lips,
Our tongues,
Do not,
Do not become a memory of love,
Do not become an example of what was,
Do stay,
Do cry,
Do fight for our love,
Don't fight the feeling you're having to turn around,
I'm turning and I want to see your beautiful face now!,
I want to look you in the eyes,
I want to feel your emotions with a gaze,
I want to let the moment linger,
I want our love to be clear,
Yet the only clarity shown to me is the back of your thoughts,
The back of your mind and I'm trying to remember when I became just a moment in time,
When I wasn't a priority in your life,
I begin to wonder "was I ever?"
I know I was,
I felt I was,
I felt your vulnerabilities in my hand,
I've wiped your tears and told you that I'd always be there and I have,
But where were you when I all I needed was to hear your voice?
Broken promises,
Broken dreams,
I sleep uneasy,
I sleep knowing when I wake up you'll never be there again,
My body wakes in ache,
My mind full of what could have been,
My breaths slowed in disbelief of this reality,
Realistically I want to put a ring on your finger,
Had it picked out since December,
Had full fledged conversations in my head of how that moment would be remembered,
Us?
You and me?
Our love?
....taken once granted.
