He wished he knew sooner
To have noticed the stubborn intensity of denial
That effortlessly ran from his lips
Dedicated to catch up to the "wishful thinker"
Her
Guilt will forever stay rooted within him
Guilt that endured a growth spurt every time
Only to be uprooted by refusal
He simply refused to accept that he was wrong
He wished he was never too late
Late to notice that time has weathered away her patience
It now lay brittle, like the theme of autumn
Broken down further by her "wishes lost"
For she wanted "everlasting"
And he only had "temporary" to give
As the time ran low from dusk until dawn
Their Golden Hourglass chimed their finale
He wished he knew sooner
Now he understood the brutality of "wishes unreceived"
As she had mistaken him for a Shooting Star
When he was just... His Own Light

'Now he understood'
or
we hope they understand
but usually
out of sight
means
out of mind
just, too many fish
in the water
so we too, must just move on
find our new connections
on-to, that next
that awaits, to free us
of our pasts..
(thanks for sharing)
Too many fish in the water sometimes makes the idea of moving on so much easier. Like "aaah it's not the end of the world"
