endless gravity

@thysilverdoe
maybe you were
a super nova
from another century
unable to understand the symmetry
of my planetary system full of universes
i was drawn to both your
vulnerability and truth
brutally honest yet inherently kind
sprinkled with a bit of mischief
you always struck me as otherworldly
thought of you as some faerie
from a realm where roses were the sacred religion
because that was the fragrance you wore
so well,
and i remember your hair most as pink
like the sunset that rang your name
breaking my heart in one simple hue
i know i hurt you, broke your heart in ways
maybe one day in one universe you’ll forgive
but i don’t think it will be this one—
you were the only woman
i’ve ever loved,
and i don’t know how to let go
because once i love someone it is forever
everyone tells me to let go
i am not an autumn leaf
cannot be tossed like the wind through the air
simply for a new beginning
even if that would benefit my heart
i think sometimes a reboot would be good,
but everything happens for a reason
you taught me so much
maybe you were meant to be several lessons
and several teachers wrapped into a person who is
only meant to be a moment but i wish could be more.
