Lost, Not Forgotten

People change like the season.

I remember the freedom that used to dance along with your smile
The sweet cocophony of your laughter speeding through the air
In hopes of being heard by the stars

I remember how you made many hearts explode with fireworks
As they rumbled like drums and celebrated your presence
In hopes of reciprocating the joy you used to bring

Now the exuberance swung heavily to the tune of lonely silence
The playground as grim as your extended absence
Angry storms of your neglect fought against the fire in our hearts
Eliminating any elated noise, with the thunder of your silence

We still feel the subtle taste of your character within you
It still hangs onto the ice of your shoulder
In hopes of not slipping away
Completely

Weird how things are just ok the way they are and then we struggle so much with change. I liked this

The process of accepting change is indeed humbling

[Robert Haigh]

Yes, people do change. We all grow into life, influenced by our experiences. When two people are in love, hopefully they can grow together, but sadly, this is not always so. An evocative and poetic write!

Absolutely! We can never be truly ready for that change, especially when you're so used to being with that person.
