Fear me not, my love
For I am not the shackles at your feet
I am not here to weigh you down and keep you bound
I am here to break your chains and keep you free
Fear me not, my love
For I am not here to take from your tree and leave it barren
I am here to keep your soil rich and your roots fed
Fear me not, my love
For I am not here to direct the flow of your energy
I am here to ride beside it; moving it forward
Fear me not, my love
For I am not here to snuff out your flame
I am here to be the oxygen and timber that feeds it
Fear...

I read today a poem.
Where she pondered forgetting him.
I dread that day coming.
I do not wish to forget.
I do not want for the thought of him to fade,
into a shadow of a time long gone.
I want to keep him in my bones.
I want to shiver with the thought of him.
I want those memories to become the lines of age on my face.
I want to recall the way it felt when he touched me,
even though I have not felt that touch in ages.
I want to close my eyes and still hear his voice
as though he were sitting right beside me.
I don't want to...

Those eyes.
His eyes.
They look at me as though I were made of magic.
There's this expression he wears as he watches me.
It's a mixture of awe and pure love.
Eyes almost glisten with adoration.
In that moment I am caught off guard.
You see, only he has ever seen me like this.
Only he has looked upon me with such sterling intimacy.
I feel weightless in his gaze.
As though my feet have left the ground.
Soul naked while my body remains clothed.
There's danger in such raw vulnerability.
Yet, I will risk utter ruin.
I will...

Days roll into months and I find myself out of date.
Lost from Sunday to Saturday.
Can't figure out if it's dawn or dusk.
Being without him is like being frozen in a time that never stops.
