TEMPORARY SEPARATION

Folder: 
JOURNAL # 41

we agreed in the back of the last taxi we shared

that this would only be a 'Temporary Separation'
you assured me over and over
and we discussed the heavy heart we each
felt so completely at the prospect of
our soon forced parting
it was a slow dreaded motion
pushing us into an unbelievable hell
prior time frames were discussed
but none of those now hold up
and Elton John, David Gates
along side John Mayer 's poignant words

are the only consolation I can find
my love, please
forsake me not
I am ever always yours
find your wordless way back
somehow to me.
end this emotional pain
that decimates my soul
a little more with each passing day
so searing it is in its lament
I am so terribly hollow
as it hurts to be forced to live
with your heart no longer fully intact
I pray for you to return stronger than ever
for in these dark desperate hours
that I am stumbling
I must somehow continue to believe
in that fabled old proverb of
IF YOU LOVE SOMETHING
SET IT FREE
IF IT COMES BACK TO YOU
IT IS YOURS
IF IT DOES NOT
IT NEVER WAS.............
for if I do not
then I must continue
through this life
without the great comfort
of your tireless love..............

Again, So Sad

Separations that become permanent absence is hard on the emotional matrix. Healing happens.
