Undone

Remembered words play softly in my heart,
recalling when first hearing, brought me joy.
But now the hearing in my memory,
brings sadness and a longing for what was.
I never thought that we would end this way,
the team we used to be: dissolved, undone.
Don’t know what it would take to find again,
that spirit of connection from the soul.
There may be nothing left worth looking for;
A once within a lifetime sacred thing
now lost inside itself; and lost to time.
But as I navigate this letting go,
I’ll love you still for everything you were –
and everything you couldn’t ever be.
