Pisa

You have disappeared again,

Just as suddenly,

Just as far,

Just as unfortunate,

For me.

For you,

I do not know any more.

I miss you,

And it hurts so much greater that you do not miss me,

For this distance,

Is intentional,

And solely imposed by you.

My pillar is leaning,

The foundation is sinking,

It may hold,

It may not.

But the longer the distance persists,

The slow slip will bear down,

I miss you,

And it hurts so much greater that you do not care,

Will the words be too little too late?

This interim is evil,

Are you even troubled?

I do not know what to do any more.

I do not understand you any more.

But I love you.

I always will.

Are you taking advantages of that?

Or have you chosen to close the door,

Turn off the lights,

Hide under your red, red covers,

And pretend you are not home?

In any way,

My pride was lost when we met,

But your stubbornness prevails.

I guess you want to choose our fate,

However unfair that sounds to me.

In the end,

I truly hope you are doing well,

And everything will work out for you.

Sail away from me, honey,

What will be will be.

Worth It

With the year we have had,

From Mexico till now,

From you to me,

The concept that eclipses any doubt,

The blanket that soothes any tear,

The purr that quiets the crazy,

Is the simple statement of,

It’s worth it.

You are worth it.

Worth the wait,

Worth the distance,

Worth the fights,

Worth all the time,

Worth everything to me.

When I pruned your roses,

I was pricked and dried,

It took time and exploration,

But when I took a second to look at them,

I realized,

With overwhelming calm,

They are beautiful.

What we have is beautiful.

The forever pursuit to better each other and us,

Is beautiful.

The rawness and honesty,

That is sometimes painful,

Is beautiful.

The sincere care and admiration,

Is beautiful.

The world and future is unknown,

But I know that with your hand in mine,

It will purely be a better time.

It is worth it.

It is all worth it.
