Twenty-six

Void

I was on my way
Living life my way
Neither lovely nor ugly
Until that fateful day
When my eyes met you
If I could turn back time
I'll walk that path again
With a blindfold on

We started pretty enough
With shy glances
And featherlight touches
To days, weeks, months together
But I never promised forever
We only lived in the moment
Every breath, every mouthful
Was a gift, a piece of history

Years down the road
I took on a path to maturity
Planning to ride solo
Only to realize, you, oh you
You had become a piece of me
So deeply imbedded that
I couldn't be me without you
So here am I again
Losing pieces of myself
Hoping I'll lose you alongside
Or lose me till I'm all you
