Spoiler! :
I’ve been listening to symphonies,
ever since I left (you).
I’ll soak in the
grandeur, for an hour.
so many instruments,
movements, you can’t help but
be moved yourself.
Sometimes there are just a few seconds,
a bare two measures,
a series of beats, breaths.
a certain tonal quality,
a certain change in key—
standing like
sharp silhouettes against
the symphony,
I love them more
than the whole.
And in my mind,
I will those few measures
to expand,
to fill eternity.
But they’re embedded in something
far greater, and must
fade away, diminish
under the power of the whole.
They wouldn’t be beautiful
if they didn’t
disappear.
Life’s like that, too.
I can never have more
than just those
scarce few seconds.
Before you left (me).
