Wellknown Ace
I speak in grief now,
Because love is too heavy
To carry in silence.
I loved you in ways
I never knew a heart could love ...
With unwavering faith,
With tenderness,
With the kind of devotion
That asked nothing
But your presence.
You became a part of my soul,
Woven into my days,
My dreams,
The quiet spaces between every breath.
And when you left,
Something sacred left with you.
Not because love ended
But because mine didn't.
That is the tragedy of it all.
I still carry you.
I carry the sound of your laughter
Like a hymn I can't forget.
I carry your name
Like a prayer that no longer reaches heaven.
I carry memories
That bloom and ache
All at once.
I do not grieve because I was unloved.
I grieve because I loved deeply.
I grieve because my heart
Built a house for you,
And even when you walked away,
It still waits at the door.
There are moments
When I close my eyes
And remember the gentleness,
The warmth,
The beautiful illusion
That we would never be strangers.
And for a fleeting second,
You are here again.
Then reality returns,
And I left holding shadows.
Not the shadows that what we were
But the shadows of what we could have been.
I loved you with sincerity
That changed me forever.
Even now,
Beneath the hurt,
Beneath the disappointment,
Beneath the grief that settles
Like winter in my bones.
There is love.
Not the love that begs.
Not the love that waits.
Not the love that hopes.
Just love ...
Quiet.
Endless.
Mourning.
A love that speaks your name
Only in the language of missing you.
A love that survives
Without being seen
And perhaps that is why I still ache.
Because the deepest grief
Is not losing someone you love ...
It is having so much love left to give
When the person you gave it to
Is already gone.
Just ...
A shadow we embrace ...
A shadow ....
Because love is too heavy
To carry in silence.
I loved you in ways
I never knew a heart could love ...
With unwavering faith,
With tenderness,
With the kind of devotion
That asked nothing
But your presence.
You became a part of my soul,
Woven into my days,

The quiet spaces between every breath.

Something sacred left with you.

But because mine didn't.
