The
day love went away
We had been talking for hours, mostly of things with
trivial significance. As I listened to your voice, I reminisced of all the
things that made you uniquely special to me.
How your smile did not just simply brighten my day; it
goaded the clouds away for weeks at a time.
The laughter you and I shared filled our hearts with joy and we danced
like butterflies in flight on a spring day.
Your most gentle touch reveals that you were there to guide
me down the road we chose to walk hand in hand.
The gaze you so lovingly held in reserve for me was like a
natural mountain lake; eviscerate, never before noticed and immaculate.
Tales of the day echoed through my mind before the words
began to sound like the screams of one thousand mothers lamenting the death of
their children.
It completely destroyed the walls I had erected to guard my
heart and I felt the tears from the well of my soul as they began their ascent
to the endless fountain nestled in my eyes.
As the feeling of sadness saturated every facet of my body,
I watched the life we had so carefully planned fall into the recesses of
oblivion, never to be realized.
Your touch once warm, tender, and soothing was now like the
surgeon's scalpel tearing me limb from limb.
When your eyes no longer saw in me the person with whom you
wanted and needed to provide safety to and comfort for,
When they no longer chose to grow wide and intent simply in
my presence,
When they no longer held me captive, but catapulted me far
from the distance of your scrutiny; unable to share our most inner thoughts and
desires, our dreams, our goals, our triumphs, and our weaknesses ............
That was the day love went away.
