Ether

I feel him,
In the darkness...
A glimmer.

Hope?
Love?
Lost or found?
It sure feels like the end.

It was foolish of me to claim his heart, 
Even after he claimed mine.
Without love, what was given can never be returned.
What was owed can never be repaid.

Perhaps one day we'll realize how close we were to greatness,
To the joy only sorrow may bring...
Perhaps our love wasn't enough to save each other,
But it was a good start!
