#vss365 Crimson wine-your lips which intoxicated me more than any drink one taste I swore to drown in the sea of your hunger you smiled I dove without fear.

#vss365 Seasons may turn and our faces age with time but still your smile stays it brings warmth in every year forever means we will be together in every change.

#vss365 A violet note left on the cafe table said: I love you still. I sip bitter coffee now reading what I never said. regret is endless.

My heart is a glass he is the prism within He bends every thought toward love’s unspoken axis I never knew how much light a soul like his could scatter. #vss365

He mailed her a leaf from the tree they kissed beneath. She framed it with care. Some love isn’t forever just beautifully pressed. #poetry

#poems She ran in the rain while he chased her, umbrella. When he caught her, though, she kissed him soaked and smiling. Rain had never felt warm.

She planted daisies outside his window at dawn. He saw them later and knew she forgave him, though not a word was spoken. #poetry

#poetry He stayed up late, Not because sleep wouldn't come, But because dreams felt too cruel They gave him her laughter, Then took it away When he opened his eyes.

#poems He whispered her name Into an empty room, Not expecting a reply, Just needing to remember How it sounded When it still belonged to him

#poems He sat with the quiet, Letting the night grow long, Each second a memory He couldn’t put down, Wondering if she still Heard his name in the dark.

He folded the letters He never meant to send, Words pressed with sorrow, Heavy with hope, As if one might reach her, And pull the silence apart. #poetry

He missed the mornings most, When her voice was the sun, And the warmth of her presence Reached before the light, Now each dawn arrives With only memory to hold. #poems

#vss365 He gave her nothing but the rawness of his soul. She built it a home “Progenitor of all things, I reside where you made me whole.” she said.

#poems He replayed old moments Like songs he couldn’t skip, Each one echoing her voice, Fading but never gone, And he wondered if nostalgia Hurt her just the same.

He missed the little things, The brush of her fingers, The way she sighed When the world was too loud. Now silence followed him Like a shadow with her name. #poems

#vss365 Stay true when distance grows, through every change, every noise Don’t turn away when it’s hard to stay close, because it’s 'us' always Move with me on these liminal crossings, even on separate roads, we’re still parallel finding ways to stay connected.

He walked under the dark sky Where they once chased the stars, Now counting constellations Alone, in silence, Wishing just once more She would take his hand. #poetry

#vss365 He called again after she told herself she was done, and she picked up because she always does. His voice spun her like a vortex she could never escape. She knows where this leads, and maybe that’s the point. Some loves don’t end, they just wait.

#vss365 He dwells in a realm made of silent devotion, where his longing swells. She moves through the depths of his memory, though gone, he feels her there.

#poems He saw her today at a distance, in the crowd she didn't see him, but he stood still for a while trying not to fall apart.
