I move forward because you

  See your eyes. Sparkle from hazel to
deep olive. The changes, the grins crossing
over.

   Shrugs. Try, try to erase your smirk
from me. The chills that empty down my spine.
The layers peeled back. Cooling, calm and so
smooth.

  My eyes whisper tiny droplets. Oh
drink up the sight. Weakness I am.

  Oh hold me. The lightness.
All will be well, I know. I echo the
words - strength, cope and keep moving
over and over.

  Dare I lie? Only truth is there. I loved. I
cry still over the lost. Oh how I laugh in
sarcasm because I fooled myself. Giving hope
and chance to possibilities that were
not mine.

   Oh I know it was wrong but still
I hope. Still thoughts scream across my
brain. Oh how I know it just is easier,
sometimes, to stand still.

   Yet I cannot. I just keep pushing
forward just as you needed me to. To
see that I can make it.

   Did you know that your reminder
keeps me going? Your smile. Your hidden
glance.

   Yes because of you I move forward.
