Morning returns by the window
and the day's first thoughts
begin again with you,

all in the same breath
my heart becomes full and empty
reflecting upon my love for you,

by now i've come to know
that you're the wind
that i will never catch,

the dazzling colors
of the rainbow, that dissolve
as they are simultaneouly born,

the snowflakes that disappear,
while i try in vain
to savor their ethereal taste
upon my lips,

by now i've come to know,
that any validity given to us
in the real world,
could never parallel
the storybook romance
where you so lovingly
let me write the story of us,

by now i've come to know,
that any man who fed my dreams, my heart,
my soul, my imagination,
over the last few years
at a time when i so desperately needed this,
is best treasured as the angel
that saved me from falling off this ledge.

This is a beautiful poem.  Strong, week, suffrage, mild, kind, gentle, uplifting, sad, and happy.  And all in one breath.  It’s difficult to not revisit this writing over and over again.
So much heartfelt emotion.  Truly a wonderful write inkgoddess.

And you are right!

Yes it is almost breaking sections of life into what was necessary at that section.

More reality than dreaming.

Came back to say, I really liked this one and find personal significance to it.  Your analogies were perfect!
