Goodbye Lover.

[written at 4:15 am]

Longest elevator ride of my life.
Stared at the buttons thru blurry eyes.
Couldn’t remember what floor.
All I thought about was you.
And our rushed goodbye.
Could still feel our last kiss on my lips.
Paused at our door and caught my breath.
Heart was hoping that I’d open it and there you’d stand.
Foolish heart. [sigh]
And even more so, foolish girl.

I sit here now thinking.
Contemplating the word ‘strength‘.
It’s funny how people classify it.
And try to define it on a day to day.
Strength in numbers.
Survival of the fittest.
Don’t think strength has any grasp on falling in love.
It’s such an immeasurable event.

My body goes weak when you give me that look.
I feel wobbly in the knees when you kiss me.
Your rhythmic love makes my head spin.
And give in to complete surrender.
And try as I might right now..
Can’t keep these weightless tears from falling.

Goodbye lover. See you in 15 days.
