I think about you, still
More than I’d like to admit.
Little moments, memories
Reminded what it used to feel like
When someone made me feel certain.
Like your face, how it changes
When I stare too long into your eyes.
Doting, in my periphery,
When you know it was you, alone,
Who brought me joy.
The way you held your breath
When I took it away from you.
Your delight when I performed successfully
Something new you’d taught me
How you would comfort me
After you knew what you said hurt
Always protecting my heart,
Even from the arrows of your words.
Until the bitter end,
Even when it shattered.
You fill me up,
Bittersweet beauty,
Chivalrous Knight,
Light of my life.
