When the tides were high and the sun was low.

For a moment in time, your hand touched mine.

Like thirsty camals walking across the desert sky.

It was like it was written by hands up high.

An oasis, an island, a warm cabin used many nights ago.

I came stumbling in kneeling against your toes.

Begging for salvation for life for love.

You ended up just giving me drugs.

Now I can't go without but I have to move on

A drop of water runs down my cheeks, was that the drop of rain or drops of my tears?

I wish it could have been ended different.

But the forces of winds have never asked permission to blow, it just does.

I wish we could have grown together.

From fall to winter, to spring to summer again, seasons changing, I am changing too.

I have to let you go.

I watch as the birds fly towards the sun. Keep them warm, like how you've kept my heart warm.

My dear, it's been awhile.

And it's gonna be even longer moving forward. In fact, I don't know when our paths will cross again, or ever will. But for the first time in awhile, I'm okay with that.

I hope you are okay too.

One step at a time, one breath at a time.

This soul of mine still calls for you, my dreams still try to find you at night. I still think of you randomly during the mid days. But I understand and I respect you.

I want what's best for you and so do you.

I'm not it. I wasn't meant to be it. It's okay.

I stand happily aside, watching the sun shine. Watching you shine.

As I can't control the clouds from drifting and I can't control the tides from pulling, I can't control you from moving on.

But I can admire. You are lovely, don't you forget. And if you ever need someone who once knew your soul and who will always love you, to be a friend, I am here.

Let the seasons change and let time take hold.

As we grow older and wiser.

With wrinkles and scars.

Let us live. Happily.

Even apart.
