Go how you go

Pain comes predictably,

Like rain.

Like death.

Like you moving me

to tears.

I will sit with you,

if you will stay awhile.

We can let words,

and silence,

carry us forward.

Together, let’s mistake our feelings

for our lives.

And measure the strength

of our embrace.

And measure the speed of letting go.

But the time to linger

always drains away.

No time in now.

No time in here.

So take this moment,

take this love,

and be you.

And be you

as you go.
