weekly poetry - #1

Finifugal.

(adj.) hating endings; of someone who tries to avoid 

or prolong the final moments of a story,

relationship,

or some other journey.

An adventure,

Past the vast oceans,

And hopeful mountains.

Past those still beginning their journey,

We will ride through thick jungles,

Through freezing peaks

And scorching deserts,

Through times when all hope was lost,

And we only had each other for company.

Through times when,

Love felt not worth it anymore,

When I could sit down and say, 

That I wanted to end things.

I don't want a happy ending,

I don't want a sad one either.

I just want you,

No ending is needed,

No final page must be turned,

We can continue reading and writing our lives away,

Till the pages wear thin,

And tears are made,

But only then will I let you go,

Only then will I let myself go,

And allow our chapter to end.

Because I am finifugal.

But until then, 

We are together.

And I will love every second,

Every hour,

Every day,

Every page every book every series every chapter,

That I spent with you.
Because I love you.

And when I put our book on the bookshelf,

I’ll know you loved me too.
