I Look Too

It still hurts, the heart still wants
Even after throwing in the towel.
The good memories haunt.
Nightmares changed from the sweet dreams
Are left of a soul that once was united
With one made in heaven. They are scary.
The distance between us does discourage,
It does send the heartbeat in an infamous frenzy,
Despair encroaching and days turning into deep thoughts
Thoughts of days-that-were but now no more.

When we were both here
We spent every evening together,
Looking at the beauty of the gibbous moon,
Filling the fissures of life with company and laughter.
Each of us provided the shoulder for the other
Respecting, understanding, forgiving, forgetting,
Loving more and living so.
But the lightning struck us apart,
And dignity reinforced the split…
Down our gut the unprecedented pill went
For what was to be a new beginning.

Oh, new beginning!
As day begins and expires at dawn;
As night starts with the moonlight fading in,
The constellation of stars flowering the nightly skies;
As my thoughts of you inhabit my mind
And as truth bears the bad news that
It is no more for both of us,
The beauty of our good old days is eternal.
The new moon shall always be there for us
And when you look at the moon,
I look too.
