It Is …

Photograph by Gypsie-Ami Offenbacher-Ferris

It is very difficult
to realize
What you are to me
is not what I am to you

It is heartbreaking
to know
My sun rises and sets with you
I am but a shadow for you in your sun

It is with agonizing clarity
to understand
Number one you are for me
for you I am way past three

It is utterly disappointing
to comprehend
Your life a full story to mine
mine a mere sentence in yours

It is with painful acceptance
to relinquish
Dreams and expectations
and just be me
