I thought the rivers had run dry. Yet the tears welling up proved otherwise.

Just when I thought I am ready to take a forward stride, the first step in walking away, I get washed up in memories of you and I falter. The memory of you still brings a smile to my face.

You’re so far yet you still feel so near. We’re walking apart but why are our footsteps in sync? I see you around the corner when I turn and my soul keeps leading me back to where we were. Why does your silhouette linger ever so prominently? Especially on this date, our special day?

The truth is, I’m falling over and over again. I don’t want these feelings or memories to fade nor do I want to wake.

You are my brightest star and all I really want is you, my immortal beloved.

“Will you ever? I don’t think you will ever fully understand how you’ve touched my life and made me who I am. I don’t think you could ever know just how truly special you are that even on the darkest nights you are my brightest star.” – Erica Jong
