CappyHAG's blog: "lost love"

The morning sun is up and the light filters through our bedroom windows to lay upon you face.

I trace the outline of your high forehead, long nose, and thin lips.

I watch your chest rise and fall with each breath that you take.

I am amazed at this simple moment, at how far we have come.

Looking back on our past, I can see the rubble of the wars we waged; the broken pieces of my heart seem to litter the landscape and my tears could not wash it all away.

Your addiction was like an ever present storm and your lies lit up the night like bolts of lightening striking the ground. Your broken promises fell to the ground like meteors ripping through the earth.

But that is our past. I look to the future and it is like a quiet hill with a soft breeze. There is a big beautiful oak tree offering us shade from the warm sun.

I can't see what lies beyond, but I am content with where we are. This is our life now, one day at a time, living moment to moment and this moment is good.

Your sleepy eyelids open and you smile at me; I can't help but melt. We have come a long way and our love has weathered many storms, but today the sun is resting on your face, I am resting in your arms, and you are resting in my heart.
