A Love Letter to Lost Love

Oh, where did those days of quiet wonder go

the days when love was simple

when you were mine

and I was yours without question

Why did you walk away

after holding my heart so gently

after knowing every fragile corner of me

and calling it home

I nurtured you with tenderness

wrapped you in a love that asked for nothing

dreamed of a forever

woven with laughter and soft mornings

I never saw the storm within you

never heard it gathering behind your silence

Until one day, without warning

lightning tore through everything we were

It struck without mercy

splitting my heart open

not into halves

but into a thousand trembling pieces

I fell

and I am still falling

not knowing where the ground is

or if I will ever rise again

Now I am left with echoes

of what we were

of what we could have been

and a quiet ache that refuses to leave

Oh love

I wander in endless circles

searching through the ruins of us

hoping to find even a fragment

of the heart you once held so close.💗
