Questions

Isn't that sad?
That I still love you?

I am way better now.
You don't know the grief
of two years in tears

You don't know the pining,
and the secret hoping that you're waiting

You didn't feel how my hope broke
over and over and over

You didn't tire your friends from listening
at the same stories since time immemorial

You didn't hide the photos, deleted the conversations,
hid the feelings and stopped a breath

You didn't wake up at night crying
because of a wild dream that you would be loved

You didn't walk past the buildings
ad remembered a certain memory of a time passed

You didn't gaze outside the car
wondering if you should continue or stop

And that knowing that stopping is more painful
than continuing in pain
Because the love is so strong that no amount of pain
could ever extinguish it.

And now in silence, in surrender,
in broken pieces on the floor,
You didn't ever come to think
that you could ever love someone more.
