Companion peace to my poem, What is Love?. It's about Lily reflecting on her past and her love. Please review.
What is Love? That's the question I ask myself every day. When you left, I forgot what it was. I wish I could remember, feel anything other than my sorrow. I wish I could see you again, hold you, tell you…
Love is a sunrise
A symbol of new life
Many things, all mixed together
Comforting, beautiful, warm.
The sun is rising now. Do you remember those days we spent, sitting together, enjoying the beautiful view, watching a new day come to life. It hurts to know that you have someone else… someone to hold, to cherish, to love.
Love is a warm fire
Eternal light, always burning in your heart
Comforting you on a cold winter day.
I'm cold now, always cold. I can't remember the last time I felt anything but the cold. It feels like a lifetime ago, when we were together. I guess, in a way, it was a lifetime ago. Since you have moved on and I, well, I don't know what's happened to me.
Love is the sea
Beautiful, yet fierce
Symbol of life,
And one of death.
I guess that when you left, a part of me died. I would give anything just to feel something, anything other than this pain, this hole in my heart. Life and death walk hand in hand, when one is born, another dies. Sometimes I wish I could just move on, to that paradise everybody talks about. Something tells me though, that heaven is what your heart wants the most. But you're with her, so how could heaven be any different from this hell hole we call earth.
Love is a mountain
Sturdy, majestic, and strong
Never crumbling, always standing.
Strong, that is what I used to be. I used to be able to stand up for myself, now I sit in the corner of my room, waiting for you, my knight in shining armor to come save me. I wish you could be my prince and I could be your princess. But you're her prince and she'll soon be your queen. My knight will never come.
Love is the night
Calm, quiet, unquestioning
Filled with many wonders
With many things unknown.
I just watched the sun set and darkness cast its spell. I don't even know how long I've sat outside, reminiscing over you, waiting for a peace, sleep, that never comes anymore. If anything, it hurts more, to see you in my dreams, to see a time where I could fell and think and love like a normal human being. I wish I could fall into a dreamless sleep, one where I wont have to wake from only to find that once again, I had lost everything.
Love is the wind
You can't see it, but you can feel it.
It'll always be there, no matter what.
The wind whips around me, blowing tears I didn't know I'd shed into the cold night. It whispers secrets, wishes, dreams to me, always saying that I should be happy that you've found someone you could love. I wish it could carry me somewhere happy, I wish I could feel it sweep my worries away. I wish I could feel love.
After reflecting today, as I do everyday, I realize that I knew what love was all along.
Love is you
Beautiful, understanding, caring.
Something I can only dream about.
I opened up, I gave my heart to you.
Now you're gone, never to come back.
It's my turn to leave now. I hope that you're happy with her, that you never have to spend countless days like I did wondering what love was. Part of me still wishes that it was me who you held in your arms, that you would whisper sweet nothings in my ear, just as you do to her. I wish I could just tell you,
"I love you."
