The space between

A deep ache stays, right in my core,

You're all I need, and so much more.

Why him, not me, did your eyes see?

My heart is open, wild and free.

A simple "no," a path untrod,

His memory gone, like a forgotten nod.

But you're inside, a part of me,

Each breath I take brings pain, you see.

Like wild blooms bright, my memories grow,

They never fade, this constant flow.

A silent love, just hangs in air.

If you think of me, sometime, somewhere,

This space is here, though why, unclear,

A quiet watch, year after year.

But please, don't learn from my sad plight,

Don't make my love your guiding light.

If I'm the drama, the main display,

This love I hold will fade away,

Like mist in sun, it will just cease,

Leaving no trace, no inner peace.
