postcard to love

love,
where have you been? ive traveled the length of my life to find you. had you in my grasp and you slipped away...shattering the being that i had become because of you.  i brushed away the broken pieces where i was sure you would be hiding, and in the corners of my mind i thought i felt you there, no pun intended.  is this your version of hide-and-seek? if it is, i surrender.  i wave the white flag to you love and forfeit all of me.  grounding my feet right where i stand, unwavering and certain that love is where i want to spend every breath.  where memories are created on top of memories already existing, so many that we have stories to fill a lifetime.  so much love that it spills over into lives of strangers because we want to share. 



(to be continued)

legitimacy

it stopped meaning something to you, and has continued  to fill me anyway.  so does your lack of it and my abundance even it out to nothing?
