Until then

Until then

My heart has been broken for a while now
But I deny it every time it occurs to me
I have improvised our conversations for books
The lyrics in my favourite songs comfort me
I find solace in some poetry
And I pour my heart out on a page when I need to cry

In the middle of the night
When I wake
And it’s your voice that resounds in my head
I try to meditate
But then again
It’s your voice that lulls me to sleep

I’m in love with you
And knowing that we can’t be is what makes it hurt

But I will save your voice
I will keep our memories
I will think of you
And smile, someday
When my heart is at ease
And I understand why we had to fail
Until then
It’s ennui
