We have a love like that—
the kind from movies,
from the ages.
It’s me at my lowest
and you’re there.
It’s two people fighting
for a future
the other doesn’t see.
I’m addicted to it—
to you,
to what you feel.
Your heart sends smoke signals
to mine,
and the regrets settle on us
like soot.
And in the end,
my time you’ll judge.
From my tears
and restless nights
you’ll have seen every one,
and I will know
the truest love I’ve known—
Yours.
Love, Jaclynn
