Let me ache,
For if I do not ache,
It implies I am at peace
With your absence from my life,
And I cannot reconcile with your absence.
Let me ache,
For I know I shall never see you again.
But allow me to harbor a flicker of hope
To encounter you once more,
Even if not in this realm,
But somewhere beyond.
Let me ache,
For I shall never find solace
In your departure from my life.
I don’t want to keep hurting,
But the pain is a testament to the love we have shared.
It hurts, but I will let it ache,
Because true love, hurts.
And in this hurt, I shall keep your memory alive.
