I loved you
And still
Wishes and well thoughts
Of happiness and such
But aching
I'm not her
I've had dreams
Of star lit nights
And fireflies
Dancing on the breeze
I in your arms
Us laughing
But you were always
Out of reach
And so
So I sit here alone
And see you
A you I'd hoped
Would somehow love me
I painted tiny portraits
Of a nonexistent
Shattered dream
With delicate strokes
And vibrant colors
It's all so very
Black and white now
As you with I
in essence
You watched me bloom
If flowers lose their petals
When will I shed you
I loved you
And still
