I was more in
Love with the
Place than the man.
-I thought-
Humans are complex,
Addicted ones are
Predictable.
I think-
If you are not given
More than you think you can handle-
then how would you know-
How much more
You could...
I figured,
Turning a blind eye
makes you
Feel more than
hind (in)sight like fore-
shadowing.
I realized,
Loss enhances the value of
What you have, irreplaceable or
simple, nameable, and not.
Holding on to
Nothing is free
falling-
Until
I knew-
Everything
Lands
Home again
Like a name you've never heard, but
Think you know or a place
You've never been and find
Yourself in
Love.
