I’ll never forget
our walks down
empty city streets,
grabbing each other’s hands,
gripping so tightly.
I’ll never forget
talking all night
about everything
and nothing
as we fell asleep
to the sky changing colors.
Even though it’s
over and there’s
no more
“us,”
I’ll never forget.
The way the wildflowers
sway back and forth
in the summer breeze
reminds me of your spirit;
stay open and free.
“Wildflowers” – sugar and sandalwood
I watched the rain
streak down the glass
of the windows.
Thinking of the last time we spoke;
I didn’t realize that would be
the end of us.
“The end of us” – sugar and sandalwood
I’ve had things
ripped away from me.
I’ve given things away.
Some things,
I’ve lost.
And in the end,
it all remains the same:
I learned to let go.
“Learning to let go.” – sugar and sandalwood
