The echoes of us

I’m scared of the silence that comes with your absence.                   I’m missing the warmth I once leaned on. I fear that you no longer care. I’m Scared I’ll fall for someone else, only to fall again. 

You touched my soul, not just my skin. In your arms, I felt whole within. A safety I can’t seem to recreate. A love that felt too real to break.

You built a version of me I adored.                                             One I fear I’ve lost, one I can’t afford to lose. 

I was your anchor, calm in your storm. The steady in your shifting form. I held your heart through every night, and you held mine. I gave you love with all my might.

Your world embraced me like its own. A borrowed family, that loved me like I belonged. 

I loved you loud, I loved you true

Till the love gave out, and so did you. You deserved my energy, until you didn’t. You earned my heart, until you quit it.

And now I’m sitting here, with echoes of the past. Of happy days I thought would last forever.
