I’m grateful for this feeling —
this gut wrenching ache;
the throb of my heart as it beats in the confines of my throat.
You were real,
it tells me.
I cared for you —
up close, and from a distance.
Your light found a home in me;
some days dim, others an inferno.
Find peace —
in the still and quiet,
in my raging thoughts,
in all the uncertainty.
You were real;
so, thank you.
