waiting...

I don’t know if I loved you more
I think I just loved you deeper
I felt you in my bones
And I was gutted when you left 

You hoped it didn’t scare me 

how much you liked me

How much you wanted me

And honestly it did at first


I was worried I wasn’t ready 

Or able

To give you the love you said you wanted 

And I picked you over my fears


I know you don’t but

I remember our talks of the future

I didn’t close my eyes and see you

I saw us


It hurts me to see how we were

Living in different realities

Was I a product of your impulsivity 

A taste of your desires


Our glasses were different

Rose colored vs black and white

I saw resilience

You saw an ending


I am fading from your memory

Just as quickly as we built our foundation

And I am reliving moments 

As they were yesterday


But you say you feel safe with me

Hold on to that feeling

Let me comfort, challenge, celebrate you

I can see your heart


I made you promises 

I intend to keep 

I accept this emptiness over

Never seeing your light


For now I must figure out

How to rebuild from heart break

While you still hold

Everything I had inside me to give 


We could fall apart 

Just as easily as we could blossom

I’m ready to work

I’m just waiting for you
