living for you
i do not know
if i could live for you.
surely,
i would lay myself down
for an eternity.
my dear,
i would die for you.
but i could not
live for you.
i could not go on
any waking moment
knowing you are no longer here.
even when you are far,
i somehow manage.
i live anticipating your return.
i know each time
you set off for that new adventure,
you will come back to me.
you will find your way to this love.
but when all is said and done...
when the good Lord
leads you to the heavens,
and i am left behind...
i could not go on.
the thought alone,
of being alone,
in this world without you in it...
it completely breaks me.
if i could die alongside you,
i would. in a heartbeat.
===
my eternal summer
consists of spending
every day with you.
though it rains and pours
and the leaves fall,
this feeling is
of a summertime bliss.
