The days creep by.

I can almost hear them as they push past the air,
So.
Slowly.
They scrape and claw,
Pretending to make an effort.
It’s all an act.
All the commotion isn’t enough
To cloak Time’s laughter.

It’s driving me insane.

The trees,
They all know your name.
They whisper it to me at every chance.
The sun,
It warms my face,
As if your breath.
The moon,
It reflects your face
Into the river down below.

The very elements are against me.

I close my eyes
Inviting the slumber that won’t come.
I toss and turn…
My thoughts always drift to you.
If I could just be with you…
The Sandman gives me no reprieve.

Another sleepless night.

It seems the workings of the world
Are trying to dislodge me,
Push me over the edge.
One, though, always comes through for me.
Fate, she knows about you and I.
And I know that Time, the elements, the Sandman, Death itself,
Inevitably bow to her will.
Right now, Fate is on my side.
It’s rough currently.
It’s hard.
But with her fighting for me,
For you,
For us…
I know that in the end,
Against all odds,
You and I will be together soon.

And forever.
