because of you~

Because of you I remembered love; I felt the stirring once more of my soul and the swelling of my heart increased with every breath....as I took in your essence....
Because of you my existence is now marred....scared by the absence of your presence.

Why must I feel this pillage of emotions...running through me like glass cutting flesh...when it's pressed against it?
I bleed in the depth of my being ...for a phantom that shall never be manifested.

Knowing I will never feel the stroke of your hand...nor the kisses of your mouth divine,
Knowing that the only thing that will remain...are these tears I'm crying.

Yes, because of you I remembered love.

Love touches us in a way that forever affects our hearts. Even tears and sorrow can't wash away it's meaning. I feel sad for you because I know these emotions so well. I can only say...God does know your heart and there is some reason for everything. I personally like to believe that if you carry love for someone your whole life...no matter how many times you love...there's a hope at least that you might be reunited in another world; a chance to hold their hand again, to kiss them and tell them all the things you would now if you could. What love takes away in pain and heartbreak..it sometimes returns in compassion. You likely have much for others...I would imagine.

A beautiful tome, in the face of heartbreak to dare instead to honor the good times.
