He loved her with a fire he had never known before

She had given him a purpose in life; loving her was his purpose

Now that she was gone, he wondered what that meant

If he wasn't meant to love her forever, where did he belong?


He wishes he could see her as a chapter in his life

Close the book and start another

It would be easier than always wanting to reread the same chapter

Knowing how the story ends

She isn't a chapter in his life

She is the whole book


He craves her touch sometimes like he will die without it

He remembers when she used to live for him alone

He misses the way she used to look at him

How he imagines she looks at her new love

Why can't she love him like that again?


He would still do anything for her

Sacrifice anything for her happiness

He misses how they used to be

How he could kiss her when he wanted

Hold her in his arms and forget the world

He would give anything to feel that way again


He looks up at the sky and wonders if she is too

Remembers how he held her on their honeymoon

And looked at those beautiful stars

She isn't just a star to him

She is his whole sky


He still loves her with that same fire

He hopes one day, she will come back to him

Loving her is still his purpose in life

He just has to love her secretly now
