Final Act of Love

As a final act of love,
I've learned saying 
Your name without 
Making an ounce of 
sound.

I've learned to deal with 
The emptiness without 
The need to fill it up.

And to love without 
Expressing it,
To yearn without the
Need to show it.
To remember without 
Collapsing--

The art of conversing 
Without the need for 
Reciprocation-

Silence is new language,
And healing is just
Accomodation.
You're not longer a
Wound, just a space
I like to carry.

And perhaps that's 
What love becomes 
When it outlives the
Destination-

A steady embrace that 
Finally lets go.
