I found the tea you gave me today
In a tightly sealed zip lock baggy in a shoebox in my room
You don’t drink tea and I was staying at Eli’s
A mass text of sorrow faced “anyone have a tea ball I can borrow?”
You brought it by to pass the need
And to simply have an excuse to see me
“Any tea’s better than no tea right?”
A sweet jester I ignored
Back when I stopped your world
When you didn’t even know how you stopped mine
I guess neither of us realised how entangled you were in my life
How many little bits still linger to remind me
How few memories actually fill your home
No wonder I am still more attached than you
You’ve purged the moments
While mine are still here hiding
In tightly sealed zip lock baggies in shoeboxes in my room
In tea I never drank
ash, this is fantastic! weve
ash, this is fantastic! weve all done the clearout lightning strike- sudden rush of flashback pofroundness, but takiing stock is also a cathartic process. i really felt the intimacy between you and the memory and how beautifully evokative the tea is in its self: as well as the wistful memory it recalls... and you put it back to bed with that strong sense of loving tenderness that makes a person want to reach out and touch your shoulder and squeeze the life out of you with empathy, care and warm compassion. tight hugSS

in that case, pour me a cup, ill be over in a jiffy!
Oh wait ill bring my tea strainer :) and a thousand sad memories to share about loving someone so well alone :) despite a mountain of shit we went through including life and death, the pain of incenserity, and walking away from someone who invested a hell of a lot of time in someone who never deserved it, yet it still pours out of me clinging to some small knowing that what we shared is so special its still tucked away in there we see glimpses of it... better make it a few cups :)

They fill some of the cracks
They fill some of the cracks in our soul, and there's no way to remove them once they have set in. In time, the edges wear smooth, and cut us less often, but what they filled remains.

because you dont unlove
because you dont unlove people love is impossible to reverse my dear it is unconditional... you just thankfully have room to love More than one person, and you dont have to even like them or what they do. family a case in point, we also have soul families... enjoy the fact you know a real love and are capable of it. tightest hugs SS :)
