pieces of your soul

pieces of your soul
theres always that one person in your life that will always keep you wanting more. they leave you intruiged. and everytime you see them they make sure your heart is aching and pounding so fast that just 1 more millasecond by their side may have just made your heart shatter with the passion from all the little memories you ever experienced with them.

then one day. they decide that your not good enough. and they with the hand that felt as if everytime you held it you were holding the universe and everytime he kissed your hand entwined with his, it was if a shooting star shot up your spine, he waved you away. Just like that your whole world dissapears and its as if for an enternity you are in a miserable limbo alone and heartbroken. you cry out every tear until your eyes are parched and its like a sand storm is twirling you. keeping you in exsistence. but if you had your way you would stop twirling. you would be perfectly still so that no one can see how pathetic you are. your like this for a long time.

And then, finally...when you think that you've picked up all the pieces of your soul that you lost in the storm, he walks back in, and he gives you the pieces that you forgot along the way. the pieces so small that even you would forget they were in you before. he misses you. and as much as it makse you happy. It would be a shame...to go back into the storm. It would be a horrible mistake to walk into something that would end the universe again.is it really even worth going though that much agony if you dont even KNOW in your heart that HES the one.
