on letting him go to be with her

[sonicguitar]

my blessing was given- here were my thoughts

Farewell my love, I am lost to you now
Lost in the shadows of the trees, hidden beneath the sagging branches and sunlit patches of grass and limbs that surround me, keep me company
I will stop my jealously before it is seen
I will bury my heart before it can speak
I will swallow my pride and watch them go by, hand in hand while I lag behind
My eyes will close, tearless and cold
My hands will grasp nothing but exhaled air
My body lays still as I push out my last breath of sweet words, meant for you,
My late love
