Love and Separation

This is how it goes- this separation thing.
Yesterday, together
Today, apart
For some, it was seen from the beginning-
a dreaded future thing.


Unspoken or announced,


The end will always bring


Exactly what was expected- life-altering change.



For others, it is sudden-


Surprising or unknown.


And up until this point,


The love for one another had not been shown


At its full capacity- but it was revealed


Through painful tears and choking sighs


As the void between became so real.


But it’s too late now.



Why love, when it’s separation we fear?


Why love, if impending heartache is near?


Why love, if the end result


Will be an endless “I Miss You” and tears?



Love is a risk- a lofty one, too.


But on this side of heaven,


It will always be true


That we cannot control it all-


So why live with caution?


“Live to the hilt” without any precautions


And love today as if tomorrow you’ll fall;


For risk-taking love triumphs


Though separation may call.
