36. Farewell, Fair Lady

I try to pass over
thinking this too much
about the bad timing
when meeting you
or the poor word choices
when in disguise
I demanded a little
more attention

Looking back
it was the
marvelous chaos
you caused
and the sparks that
we made

After all
you've been
the truest thing
I had

And you may
be altered
upon reading this
and run, hide away
and vanish
again

But
save your breath
don't hurry my dear,
you don't really need to
run anymore

It is what it is
and it was what it was
and it was beautiful

Life itself is
There's beauty
all around if you see

Just like you
and the shock
that the ones
who will see
you for the first
time will get


Oh how
I envy them!

though I know
I had
the best of you
at one point
and you have
gotten out
the best of me

I heard your eyes
as they talked to me
but
I understand
your silence
even more

This time around
untimely
like all the lives before
and yet, still with a
spine attached to the side

but the coincidence
of meeting you again
against all odds
and over
the infinite variables
has been
true magic
within a dream

Until next time,
my beloved
