this is a painful poem i wrote after breaking up with my first true love. we had broke up just before she moved away to college and i never stoped caring for her. when she returned for the summer we agreed to be friends, but to this day, 2 and a half years later, she is the only one i can honestly say i will love till the end of time.

Chandra, Sleep as Well as I
Each new night I welcome without regret
I see the beauty in every new sunset
Even as the icy air rolls in
I know my blood won't run thin
My swollen heart will keep me warm
Through what would be another sullen storm
Your truly in my arms tonight
I'll feel your form and hold you tight
And I know as I go into my sleep
It's our renewal of love that I weep
No more tears of lonely pain
The light you shine shows again
Though through great gaps we embrace
Knowing you still love me erases this space
