i went walking with you
when my world was just black and white
we whispered under the willow
by the big pond
you know
the one with the snapping turtle
and the secret cove
we talked color into our world that day
with each word between us
painting the springtime
even the sky was so blue
by the time you finished your tale
we brought color into the world
you and i
each new hue
connecting us
to the breath, of the earth
our conversation magic
healing wounds
connecting with our new world
the one we spoke into place
you know
on the day we parted ways

beautifully written, but ooph, that last line.
<3 thank you. Yeah, at the time it was heartbreaking, now it was one of those moments of radical acceptance that you can love a friend or lover so much, but we know it's best to walk away.
