Past, Present, Future
The past,
A memory etched into the veins of my heart.
With each beat,
My body remembered the air from your lungs.
My skin remembered your warmth.
My eyes remembered your smile.
My ears remembered your honeyed words.
The past and present collided.
Throbbing thorns pricked at my heart until it bled.
Sadness subdued joy.
Watching it drown, my mind searched for answers until a circle was found.
So
I said goodbye to the past
Accepted the present
And looked towards the future.
