You'll never read this.

I never got around to publishing it in time.

But that doesn't change how I feel, or how I felt when I wrote this.

If you do find this, and read it. Thank you. I'm sorry.

Our circumstances for meeting were rather unusual

A connection made unknowingly, blissfully unaware

Innocent on the surface, the truth hiding beneath

The first day, filled with awkward silence

On the back of a split partnership, one more couldn't hurt

Followed by a night of words, flirtations in the absence of a gem

Familiar friends, the days after echoing the same sentiments.

*

The night everything changed

A cozy concept, digitally realized

A clock halfway, the time melting

You were there too, laughing along

Risky endeavours, brought forth by exhaustion

Emotions became louder, questions forming in our heads

Waking up from it all, the days after feeling like heaven.

*

A sky filled with hope

Time set aside, to realize the impossible

The tears in our eyes, a compliment to a loving tackle

A hopeful adventure, destination unknown

A kiss never felt before, weight off our shoulders

A hand never held before, the soft touch of a new day

Our bodies intertwined, together at last.

*

I didn't want to say goodbye

The sound of your voice, blending into the footsteps

The bright white lights, blocked by your shoulder

An offer unaccepted, one final smile

Your face fading away, one step at a time

A warm memory, holding onto my heart

The sun sets, to bring forth a new life.
