Can I love still?
I am old and my
heart is getting old.
Do I love more
after heartache
and wars and the
passing of most
of the people
I’ve known?
As I search for your star
in the peppered night light,
I know..
Yes I can love still
but it’s also true..
I once loved
so much more,
a time when I had you.
In the moonrise
I’d place the planets,
to change time
to a better day. You never returned, so again my heart breaks.
So love more of
what you have now, as one day you will love less of what you have today.
Victoria Stokoe.
