This is goodbye, but Is it? Some part of me feels like this couldn't be the end, and why is that? We barely know each other, and yet I feel like I've known you forever. Like everything we haven't said is already known. And there's a lot we haven't said. This invisible wall of respect, both treading the line to protect each other from the inevitable ending in an impossible circumstance.

I have a hard time rationalizing how a what if has impacted me more spiritually, mentally and even physically, despite the distance, than my last 2 tangible relationships. I've tried to dismiss this as only limerence, a new word to me. Maybe, partly yes, but I've traveled the world, I've dated and been in enough relationships, I've met and worked with thousands of people from all walks of life, so I believe I'm qualified to say...this was different. The energy that we shared was different. We both knew that we connected on every level we both needed. And that's the part that scares me the most. That one day I'll look back on this and regret having to look back on it and feel like I'm settling for anything else. God I hope I'm wrong.

I wish I could tell you that you're easy to forget. I wish I could tell you I don't think about you when I wake up and go to sleep.. I wish I could tell you I don't feel connected to you in some inexplicable way. I wish I could tell you a lot of things that would make this easier for both of us. But I can only summarize this as two beautiful souls meeting at the wrong time.

I know we don't fit into each other's lives and it would be selfish of us to not allow each other to find love in a way that's practical. I've come to accept that. And with that, I'm at least thankful for experiencing that there is still more to discover than I thought. I will always have an unconditional love for you.

Goodbye beautiful. ❤️

​

A young warrior sailed the seven seas

Promise awaited to be carefree

A troubled past he gleefully flees

-

Pure intentions with a heart of gold

Trained in courage, his actions bold

Seeking honor, adventures and mysteries untold

Through trials of adversity his heart grew cold

Bleaker than any ocean he had patrolled

-

Sailing on blue waters, never to rest

Blessed with luck he passed each test

The ocean his sanctuary and only quest

Trials of fire yielded great success

-

Another port, another shore

Another adventure and tales of lore

He forgets his calling yet once more

-

With his brethren he drank to the foam

Across the expanse, he continued to roam

No where but the sea to call his home

Abundant fun yet remarkabley sad

Yearning for something he never had

-

Chased by love, and away he would sail

Awaiting for one who would be his fairytale

Cloaked in armor the light dimmed pale

-

Left in his wake, hearts did he break

Awaiting his truth matched, his soul did ache

In search of something impossibly fake

Until he found one he could not forsake

The armor of his light began to shake

-

Genuine connection, a treasure so rare

Divine intervention brilliantly aglare

Unfathomable passion, wild desire

Sound the alarm, no manual to inquire

Oh how do I now extinguish this fire?

-

This work here, I've been trained to do

Only easy day, was yesterday, for a few

All hands on deck, dress out the crew

-

Attack, attack! Before its to late

Acceptable risk designed by fate

Conflagration station hesitates

Hose secured, close valves gate

To the pier now! Evacuate!

Is this game over, possibly, checkmate

-

Besieged with hope his walls did fall

Conquered by love his light did call

Scaled by distance in no way small

Experience learned no obstacle too tall

-

A spark so intense he could not believe

Is this destiny that our paths did weave

Emotions unanchored rolled off his sleeve

A charming fantasy she perceived him naive

Her caution reigned, his love take leave

Fooled by illusion or just a reprieve

No one to blame but the universe to grieve

-

Confused he was not, he knew what he felt

Despite the distance the cards had dealt

Her charm a marvel his armor did melt

-

Patience neglected, a cadence too fast

A substance so precious unintended to last

Questionable odds in a world so vast

Afraid to hurt another as he did in the past

Of love and respect for her he amassed

He tells his heart no, not this time, standfast

Unconditional love remains unsurpassed

He returns his light back to the cast

Don the armor, embrace the mask

Set sail once more, hoist colors up mast.
