Maybe

Maybe you are meant to fights wars

And I am meant to raise warriors

The irony of two loving each other so much that you can see each other’s paths better than your own means you love them enough to let them go despite how much it hurts your heart

But what I see now that you are gone was unexpected

The deep welling pain remains, but I also see the light much clearer now

Regardless of how long it will be before I hear your voice again, my soul needed to feel itself alone to reflect on so many things that have been laid before me

Maybe this is what you saw in me

And maybe that helps my heart to still feel warmth

But I find that there is much more time in my day with less chaos, and in solitude the view is much deeper and more fulfilling

Maybe you are finding the same truths

And when I can push past my hurt I find that I wish that’s true

Still the nights make this immense void where you once were, and it consumes my every thought until my body finally succumbs to sleep

Maybe at nights you’re cold

And maybe you have found a lover to keep you warm

Each day I keep these thoughts from creeping in, but as the sun goes down I find that you are constantly in my thoughts, as I swing from anger to pain like a pendulum at the mercy of my own heart and mind.

Maybe you feel at peace

And I will seek mine

And, Maybe

Our paths will once again collide
