Moment in Reflection
Folder:
Missing Him I spent a moment in quiet reflection.
But as I let the memories consume me,
My eyes begin to overflow with tears.
Not only because I lost something so dear,
But also because I never knew it was
Mine to cherish in the first place.
I suppose that’s my own fault because
I never felt I was deserving of Love
Even after he approached me cautiously.
These reflective thoughts keep me awake…
And now that Love has quickly disappeared
From my presence, I can only lie here
And sigh at how I miss him so, yet
How can I miss what I never knew I had?
Now I am desperately seeking Closure,
But he hides from me, snickering
As he observes me from the shadows
Running around aimlessly because I don’t
Even know what it is I am looking for.
And somehow I am able to fall asleep…
The sun peeks in through my eyelids
At the start of another morning.
I open my stinging eyes reluctantly.
But instead of resorting to crying once more,
I allow a genuine smile to sweep
Across my still tear-stained face
Because the sun’s heat reminds me
That I should be grateful for having been
Given the opportunity to feel Love’s warmth.
