I loved you like…
I loved you like winter loved summer sun
Like an oak loved its many fallen green.
As a misplaced hour loved each precious beat
I may have shown less; but I loved you more.
I loved you like a tramped road, from miles back
Like a rainbow, loved the light-veering rain.
As ‘The End’, full stop, loved the bestseller.
And your silence, the pause between your words.
I loved you like the ebbed tide loved the surf.
Like a guitar loved chords already strummed.
As the crowd yearned its lost isolation
Our now-abandoned, unmade bed lies cold.
Unsure of my heart now you have gone, though
I have more tomorrows than yesterdays.
