Heart Held Secrets

There’s a space between us

we are both scared to admit that

it is filled with things we agree with

and things we don’t.

Glide with it, be with it

Agree or not, go with it

There is nothing much we can do

for what is meant to.

We can twist and turn but

things will fall into place — eventually.

Hold on to what you have —

things and people. Value them

but be ready, a thing remains constant;

what is given will be taken away — always.

There’s a space between us

where we do things we said we wouldn’t ever do

where we say things we said we wouldn’t utter

where we are who we said we wouldn’t ever be

And where the things we hate are also the things we love.

A space between us.
