Saying Goodbye...

14 Feb 98

is never without tears
as we wonder what might have been
in another life
with different chances.
is never my wish
nor my desire but desire is twisted
as am I
and I know now others that desire.
must be ~~ for her,
for her hidden love shines brightly
and must be given the chance
to outshine an imaginary lover.
pains my heart 
for you have given me joy
in my solitude
and laughter through my tears.
and saying, I'm sorry...
for creating a fantasy of souls
that might have come together
in fireworks.
to the only other man in my life
that sat at my feet and listened
to my story
and thought it well told.
I am sorry for every kiss we shall never have, every story we shall never now tell, every hope that might be killed without the probability, and every night that I go to sleep without you in my arms...I shall miss you, my incandescent soul.  Tread your path safely.
