The enigmatic last piece of the puzzle
The misaligned last cut of the
jewel

"Why couldn't you have just said yes? Just stayed, said yes and stuck with it."
Everything was perfect.
a complete divine setup of epic proportions.
Almost.
"But the truth's the truth, and we have to live it, whether we like it or not"
And I can't go on acting like I'm ready when I'm not

Please don't think it never hurt
and even more so when I saw how you did hurt.
I love you for a thousand different reasons
and in a thousand different ways
but for the one which mattered the most
that God would have put into place if He wanted to
perhaps in due
time but not now, and I don't know if ever
so I shan't resort to sentimental promises

but
you are serendipity
and quietude
and wonder
and the calm at the end of a storm
all sanguinely bundled delicately, sensitively, beautifully
and

anyone would scramble for a friend like you
and I am no exception
so I will love you in the ways I can
and with all I can give
hoping that's enough to make you stay.

for
the torn last stitch in the cross-work
and the lost backing of a ear stud.
