Because I love you I accepted your absence.

I accepted that I lost you when you promised I wouldn’t. 

I saw the bruises and cuts on you and I fell more in love with them. 

They reminded me that our bodies love us so much it helps us heal from the inside.

You made a whole new world crash into mine, our love was fragile and beautiful.

Something I never knew of, something that will never come again.

I could see the love you had for me pouring out of your eyes into mine.

I could hear love in your voice when you talked to me so gently, 

when it became softer and softer, and your face was washed up with concern,

the worry that filled up your voice when you call out to me. 

I could feel your love when you touched my body so fragilely,

when your finger tips painted my body with all the emotion and color and life you had so little in you. 

But yet I felt loved and alive and safe all at the same time when you were with me

and thats when I knew that you and I were going to lose everything so easily.

We were glass and yes I broke it at first but you were supposed to fix it, 

instead you shattered it and now here I am helping you shatter it more. 

Because I love you I cannot love anyone else.
