The Blood & The Bones

The truth is

I want to sit on the porch as the sun falls into the earth and watch you sip your whiskey

I want to smell the fire on your neck from nights of baring our souls by the heat of it

I want to see your eyes when you say I love you every day until our days are no more

I want to be the place you call home, your calm and your chaos

I want you to never finish falling in love with me as I will find new reasons to love you everyday

I want to be your forever for when I think of mine, you all I ever see

But, the other truth is ..

I will never wake up next to you

I will never see the sunlight in your eyes

I will never watch as your fingers fold into mine

I will never hear you drop your belt and pull off your boots before the rustling of the blankets as you slip in behind me

I will never take your last name or carry your child

I will never know you beyond what we had

I will go on with this life with only the dream of what might’ve been

Because you are not mine

And you never will be
