everything

I couldn’t let you go….

Not for the longest time…

You were always there…

In the shadows and in my past…

I loved a part of you…

I hated the other….

In your eyes I saw someone I loved….

And someone I feared more than anything…

For a time I believed in a lie…

A lie so strong and loyal I felt like I didn’t have anything without it….

A lie I protected and fought for…until it ultimately ended my life….

A life I once lived….with you…

I wanted to spend the rest of my life loving more than I ever could…

I loved you and I lost me…

I loved me and I lost you…

Everything has its purpose….

And there’s love in everything…
