I have come to the time
when losses outstrip gains
when the losses, tangible and
not, are my daily friends
and though some of them
are dearer than others
one or another are constantly and
consistently in my company
There is a sweet sadness in the
never agains, there
is a sweetness in remembering
those times I would forget
A first kiss, a run taken
a worry free moment, a walk
in the field, a summer
unburdened and limitless
The fact that I didn’t –
I couldn’t – notice their passing
makes their leaving sadder
but closer to my soul
Maybe there will be another love
another carefree walk, another
time without regrets. My heart
says yes, but my head
says otherwise
