To have loved And to have been loved in return I can imagine Would be something that would burn Into your soul

Pins and pricks Jibs and jabs Stabbing pain Stab me to gain Stab me to feel

Peace comes from acceptance With no anticipation There’s no disappointment It is what it is No more, no less

Will anyone ever look at me Like I’m everything? Like I mean something? Will anyone ever want me Like I could be their everything?

Summer sun Lone sailboarder Sand Grass Warm

The days are long Weeks and months even longer The years have gone Have they made me stronger? Have they made me weak?

Although he’s gone He’s never far He’ll always love you Always in your heart Your soul was formed

I’ve been alive for so long and yet, who am I? Do I exist? Am I real? Should I persist?

You in my life Is more than I’ve ever had Being here today Is more than I’ve ever had Wanting me to stay

Beaches and sunsets Sand, and salt water lapping at the shore Seagulls and jellyfish The sound of the ocean

Minutes Turn into hours Turn into days Turn into weeks Turn into months

Solitude Isolation They hold so much meaning So much pain It’s not as simple as deciding
