In the absents of solidity

why?

Lying on my chest ... your fragile soul. 

The contentment I felt was not equal to any other moment in my life.

The dreams, the hopes, the scenarios running through my mind.

I held it all ... it was electric ... it was pure. 

I could face any adversary, there weren't any foe I couldn't defeat.

I was on the mind of fear and not the other way around. 

It was always about you. 

I crawled on the floor with you before you knew how to walk

I wanted to be with you when you saw it all for the first time

I wanted you to know the comfort missing in me.

I wanted you to know there was someone there with you.

I wanted you to never feel alone.

How it needed to be about you.

You grew, it was unavoidable.

Yes, we had our moments, we didn't always see eye to eye.

you weren't so jaded that you that you couldn't find understanding.

alas, we weren't alone in our world ... and then it happened. 

These were things we couldn't defend.

These were lies that made me feel half a man.

These were lies that carried you too many miles away.

I cowered into a glass shell ... 

and if there were a moment where I thought there were no foe I couldn't fell

It had been lost the moment I let you slip between my hands

How I let it go ... I thought it was the noble path. 

How I missed you.

sometimes the understanding we don't reach is how important that person was to us....then we realize too late and are left an empty shell...just missing, missing.

i cannot understand why you don't have comments---on some of these very, very good writes...

Thank you, Jacob. I am content enough with the few people who do offer feedback. It seems the ones who do are mostly the people who I admire. I can not complain.
