Forever, day and night I watched her, listened to her, felt who she was and smelt her perfume when she was alone and vulnerable. I knew all her peccadilloes.
I grew to care for her, know and love her more than she really ever knew, or could herself. However, no matter how much love I gave, it seemed never to be enough or the type of love she needed and regrettably never let me in, inside her heart. It was one thing I wanted oh so much, to get close to her. But hey, we don't always get what we think we want, do we?
After many years of being pushed away I chose to walk away, for leaving her to be free to find the love she needed was all I could do. Wounded and heartbroken, my only salvation was some distant faith that I would one day before I depart, find a love that would open its heart and arms letting me in and holding me tight.
In a warm and glowing light, it was only through loving her that was I ever able to truly know and now love myself. For this gift I thank her more than she will ever know.
Sometimes when you are lost in the moment of a blissful other, for never do you think about nor want tomorrow to ever come. Yet, when love never seems to return, tomorrow doth come and with it, a loving new soul who will love you faithfully in return forever.
With love, kindness and peace
