tears well in my eyes along this familiar path

truthfully, i had walked it few times before, but it was always you that waited at the other end

i can’t explain why i seem incapable of escaping the memory of you

to put into words what passed between us, it seems, could never be simple

there was a depth to the understanding between us, one that even time does not often bestow

what an intrigue you were, and how eager i was to unravel you

that melancholy in your soul that so beautifully matched my own…it has stayed with me as the years have worn on

to have not spent more time in your presence is destined to remain one of life’s greatest regrets

and yet, to have had the chance at all must reside amongst the greatest of fortunes
