silent fall

today I found out
that I will be missing someone
missing someone’s soul
missing words that will never be spoken
(on nights that will never exist again)
not even the dream of them.
❦
missing a touch that will never happen
(and never lead to a love I will never know)
missing a thousand embraces
(dissipated into the wind like soft seedlings)
missing every single kiss from the first to the last
(that were never meant to be stolen)
❦
missing a million laughs
…a billion smiles
…a trillion grins
…and infinite memories
(that will never be created)
❦
I felt like crying today ~
❦
until I remembered
that I won’t be missing someone at all
they live in my heart, now and forever
and the peace that brings me
is like a thousand embraces
a lifetime of stolen kisses
a million laughs
a billion smiles
a trillion grins
and an infinity of memories.

Anna is a character. Half-fictional, half-inspired in many, many true events. Half-European, half-Latin-American. She is happy, she is strong, she is a mom, a teacher, a friend. Despite the divorce - not of her choice - she is determined to be joyful, grateful, hopeful, sweet; believing that life is for sharing and that he is somewhere out there. But he will have to be as lovable as she is. After all, better alone than in bad company. Sigh: but better in good company than alone...
