Remain

Remnants

Just know that I know
It doesn't matter anyway
Absence doesn't make the heart grow fonder
It doesn't make it whither or fade
Through all the absence and time
Nothing has changed


I don't love you any less
I can't love you any more
I don't hate that you left
I can't hate what you became


Just know that I will never change
No matter how long you're gone
No matter why you went away


Absence doesn't make the heart grow fonder
It doesn't make the feelings fade
No, after all this time
I want you to know that nothing's changed
I'm comfortable enough
To not miss you every day
But I will never be the kind
That wishes you never went away
I support all of your choices
They are all yours to make
And while I miss you on occasion
I know why you couldn't stay


I don't love you any less
I have no hate for you in me
I know just why you left
I still remember everything


Our time may have been punctuated
The shortness, our abbreviation
Never fully cultivated
Stopped before our realization
That everything must fade
Like all good things that must be erased


Absence hasn't made me fonder
It hasn't made these feelings change
No matter how far you've gone
Or why you couldn't stay too long
This heart in me will never let you fade
The memory I hold inside will always remain

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Don't come back, unless your heart has changed...

I absolutely love

I absolutely love this:

 

Absence doesn't make the heart grow fonder
It doesn't make it whither or fade
Through all the absence and time
Nothing has changed


Beautiful, and worthy not just of poetry but of song, as well.
