Do Not Look For Me...
I won't be there.
The desire to be found no longer resides here.

Your gaze fell upon mine. Soft but fierce. Unrelenting. Time stood still.
You knew from that moment onwards you had to delve into this solvable mystery...
Slowly, carefully you picked up every fragile piece of my broken heart...
Deliberately placing each delicate speck so intricately into your finest cashmere cloth...
Inspecting the fine details of every jagged edge, every sharp point, every unfinished curve...
The closer you looked, the less you understood and so the frustration grew...
Until you wrapped me snug into the neat little parcel you expected to find...
GRABBED THE MALLET AND HIT AS HARD YOU COULD...
Over, and over, and over, and over, and over again and again...
You thought you could reshape me and in turn, help you understand me BUT I was never a puzzle that needed to be solved.
Merely shattered pieces that needed not to be understood but to be held, to be admired for the beauty in the new found shapes.

I saw you, and I loved you anyway.
You saw me, and you began your equation.
