until we meet again

Until we meet again,

I will regrow the cherry blossoms

Which perished in the vigorous rain

That extended from your grasp to my chest

And the strings attached that wallow

At the ringing sound of your name

Until we meet again,

I will learn to gently release

The visions and concepts I’ve created of you

And rest my eyes for they have

Been watching the clock, waiting hopelessly for you

Until we meet again,

I will repair my vessel

And fill it with overdue love

For I’ve been deprived of its gravity and purity

Declaring that my own wasn’t enough

Until we meet again,

I will comprehend what I have learned

I will allow myself to heal in patience

For I will always be willing to love

But there will be time until I can take it

Until we meet again,

I will prepare myself for any lovers

That soon may come my way

I will learn to love them—devoid of comparison

For even if you and I never meet again

I will always be okay
