My Dead Language

When you finally see

When you finally see

I will have already passed through

And it will be too late

Yes, too late for you

I am old enough now yet still too young

To persist on loving you

In hopes you will stand beside me and watch

Love blossoming.

In beautiful people

In delicate remembrance

Of past heartaches and love lost

But refusing still, to desert what is rightfully yours.

I understand this is really one of God’s gifts,

One gift worthy of enjoyment.

Maybe it’s my youth

My optimism

My willingness to live by the sanctity of pure selflessness

And it is love that resides where you refuse to go

So you will never quite understand

Or even truly know
