Soft landing

 I have never said that I wanted the Earth.

What made me happy was a few lines, a spark of attention.

I never asked for the Universe.

I never asked for the Ocean or its depths.

All I wanted was a glimmer, a light, a softness, consideration.

A corner.

A soft landing.

White lies

How are we today? 

I'm well. 

Are you really? 

Yes. 

Are you sure? 

I swear! 

Are you happy today? 

Yes I am. 

Really? 

I promise! 

Reach out if you need to talk? 

I will! 

Pink hue

 This is Us. 

Blush pink. Pretty. 

The hue on my cheeks. 

The excitement of you. 

Paper thin. Fragile. 

Three

The past few years have been hard and cruel, I would say. 

I lost three important men in my life. 

On days where I screamed, nobody came. 

On nights where I howled, no sound came from within me. 

For one of you, I look to the Heavens, and I know you cannot return. I know this. I will love you forever. 

For the other, you've gone, and for you to return, would be disastrous for us both. I can love you from a distance, and that is all. 

For you, the last. I wait for you. My heart aches for you. How I miss you. I hope you come back to me, before it's too late. I hope you haven't forgotten my love. I will wait for you. 

Always

 I hope the sun shines always for you and on dark nights, the stars glisten. 

Complete

 She said she's never loved anyone as much as she loves you. 

And you didn't realise that you were my whole Universe?

Hold

 She's the one you didn't see coming. 

She's the one you can't let go of.
