I saw you in the darkness, walking far ahead along the path,
calling out your name even though you couldn’t hear,
begging for the distance to close between the present and the past,
and knowing it could never be.
It happens even still, 24 moons or so into this sentence,
when I think I feel the warmth of my unrequited love,
only to realize our life is a cadence,
and knowing forever will never be.
Along the narrow, winding road, lies the torment of unknowns,
and in my failures I see my triumphs growing from the weeds,
finding myself amongst the beauty within a path of bones,
and knowing that this you and me.
