Love That Survived Lifetimes

She was all sunshine

dreams, and rainbows.

I realised I did not fall,

but I walked willingly into her love.

She maybe just

one person in this world,

but she is my entire world.

In her, I saw everything,

from my birth until my death,

though it lasted only a few days.

Now she walks through my heart,

occupying every corner.

I crowned her with love,

yet she disappeared.

Now I wait for, one smile,

one glance, one word from her.

But her silence became a fire,

that burned every dream to ashes.

Now I suffer

unable to tell

the difference between

illusion and reality.

The moon is my silent witness.

Every door I open,

leads to her, and every path ends at my broken heart.

I wish the breeze

were her gentle breath

that I could feel every night.

I cannot lie, nor can I hide

a love that has survived

many lifetimes.
