missing you
not because of a need
or for a want
the yearning is different from before
neither acute nor painful only aware
that the mirage of you has its pillar no more
these days
fairy tales
fail to impress me
still
i go on missing you
the version i was convinced i knew
in blunt terms
time hasn’t healed anything
though promised by many it would do so
how can it i now dare to ask
it lacks the essence of life after all
your new versions transpire as proof
besides
who decided to soak heart-wrenching losses
in colors other than red anyway

A sad road in deed, but on the other hand, of a positive mindset that on has done with negativity. Chapeau…!

…still working on it, dear friend, and barely taking a step forward against the strong pull of multiple steps back…
