Everything You Were

Earthen Witch, Poetry

“And I hope you know that you are always
in my heart. I will never forget
everything you were to me.”

Late at night, I cannot help but wonder what you might think of the choices I have made. If you think I have actually lived as we once dreamed. If perhaps you think I have taken a wrong path along the way. But since I am now in a future you will never experience, I can rely on no one than myself and the memory of you to try to find my way through this unknown. I can only hope you can forgive me for trying. And I hope you know that I will always have a place for you in my heart and I will never forget everything you were to me.

Because you were everything
I ever hoped to love.

Inspired by the hero
of my next novel of the
Earthen Witch Universe series.

  1. Beautiful piece by one of my fave writers. While this piece seems to be speaking of a past relationship, the sentiment feels transcendent of one talking to a deceased parent… but perhaps that’s also because the anniversary of my mother’s death is approaching.
