There is More

I have learnt to accommodate, travesty 

For often those we share confines with

  Hold back,

      For fear

      Unfamiliarity

      Nefarious too

It is not a gripe, I have held to, to each their own

Often you in our beautiful chance, willful meetings too

Have often been at war, with me, with them, with him at times

  Held back

        For present

        Substitution

        Anger

I have learnt to face adversity, of such musings

They were never far or few, persistent

Often nonchalant, with me, sometimes by me

In those moments I have learnt acceptance

  Learnt restraint

        For love

        Time

        Passion

In all my thoughts of you, gone and new

I have only found thankfulness

As reticent that I have been with rest

My heart was in admiration, adoration

   You left

       Admonished me

       Acceptable

       Yet Hemlock'ish

Yet, I have learnt, learnt to let be, what wants to

Love is, a dutiful teacher, mine a war general

As we spoke today, I offer my gratitude, wishes

   Go find

      Love

      Gentleness

      Madness      

Like I have forever with you, I learn more each day

On what and how, of then and now

Sans your blinks, that reminded me of passing time

I have learnt to accept all,

   except me
