Pieces and Shards

your gaze into my eyes
how you asked for me to hold your hand
your assuring embraces
your helpless smiles from my hugs
long night walks
jokes
good music, good vibes
confidence, motivation, contentment
were all that you gave me
calming scents of you
genuine, pure happiness
soft whispers
fixing broken things
your laughter - as soothing as a baby's to a mother
we've got a really mad love
thoughts of you every minute
drowning in helplessness
hopeless romantics
trying to find our ways
through this hell called Life
how
we didn't know
why
only God knows
when
we got it wrong
what
unsure
who
just us against the world
but who would have thought
that world fell apart
Life devoured us
what's left
were pieces and shards
of our emotions and hearts
it hurts
really
picking these debris up
step by step
learning how to fix broken things again
but this time,
with a broken self.

That was the happiest time of my life. Thank you.
