“We believed that loving each other 

would be enough. That no amount of miles

that separated our bodies

could ever really push our hearts

apart. We convinced ourselves

that time was on our side

and that these months that had been

put between us could only 

make our desire to be together again

grow stronger. It was real, this feeling.

Our hope of being reunited could have

sheltered us from any storm

without being hurt, without being

totally destroyed. This waiting,

this forced patience had become

a second nature to me.

But while I was still holding on

and letting the bitterness

of these seasons pass,

you were moving on 

and letting go.

While I remained true

to these promises that I swore

to keep, you were emptying yours

and putting your words

inside of someone who was only

a train ride away.”
