Go With Love

I love you.  Go upon your journey with that love as company in your heart.  We have grown, and our paths have diverged.  We didn't see it.  We didn't plan it, but it happened at some point, between breaths, when neither of us were paying attention.  We no longer see the world the same way.  Time and personal experiences have distanced our paths.  There was a fork in our road, and without knowing it, we, each, chose a different direction.  By the time we looked back to realize we were no longer side by side, we had walked too far to double back to find each other again.  We could only gaze across the distance, confused, and with quietly breaking hearts, wave goodbye and continue forward with a dull ache in our breasts.  

I want you to know that I gathered up my love for you, and placed it in a space of honor on my heart's alter.  We may no longer be close friends, but I never stopped loving you.  I will never stop loving you.  Your role in my life is undeniable, and I cherish it.  I wish you all the happiness and love you can ever want.  I pray life is kind to you.  Whether or not not you feel the same toward me, or if I have faded quietly from your mind, may my love for you be stamped deep upon your heart.  I hope it fills your cup whenever you need it, as memories of you fill mine.  Above all, know I love you still.  

May the moss soften your steps.
May the rain quench your thirst.
May the sun shine its warmth upon you.
May your table always have plenty.
May you know as much joy as you desire.
May you receive as much love as you share.
May your life be rich in blessings and richer with joy.
