Seems these hours
Without you,
I’m winning
Every game I play.
I'm not as critical
Of those things
I can't control.
What do you suppose
This means?
Dear love,
The message was delivered
Some time ago;
It's only now that
I see it,
And very clearly.
I've given you
So many chances
To declare your love;
I've waited far longer
Than I should have.
I don't want to live
Without you,
But, it seems these hours,
Without you,
I'm winning
Every game I play.

Wow what a message. It is such a strange feeling to realize that the one we so openly poured ourselves out to is the one that was all along holding us back and we didn't ever realize it til that day comes when we are set free from those invisible chains. Wonderful read and so full of spirit in holding your own.

Its hard to let someone you care for so deeply go, but if the feeling isnt mutual, its for the best, even if it doesnt feel like it for a while. Gool luck and great writing.
