I Think of You

I think of you still…

in the quiet hours,

in the moments between breaths.

I know I let you down,

and the memory of it lives in me like an unhealed wound.

I kept my distance,

fighting the urge to hear your voice,

telling myself I was doing the right thing.

But the truth has a way of breaking through.

And the truth is this…

it’s you.

It has always been you.

The one my soul recognizes,

the one my heart refuses to forget.

You are my once-in-a-lifetime,

my forever,

my true love.
