Eyes closed tight,
hoping to stay unconscious
throughout the night
but you awaken me.
Too many visions of you,
my palms pressed against your jaw,
only to get a perfect view–
one without any flaws.
I loved you so much I flew
into your arms in awe
at every part of you.
It was your freckles first,
the connected presence they had
the intense burst
of energy you showed, even when sad
I don’t know what hurts worst
the fact that it’s over or the fact that I’m glad–
I always knew it wouldn’t work.
Yet I’ll stay hopeful.
I’ll cherish memories of country landscapes,
nights we danced like fools,
basement dazed out escapes,
performances that were wonderful–
my idea of love has been reshaped,
and for that I’m grateful.
Even when awakened,
I smile.
Knowing I’m awakened
by love.
