Lost Lover

I am so completely lost. My heart feels like it's being torn in two. Part of me loves him incredibly and wants nothing more than to say I'm still his. The other tells me I ended it for all the right reasons, that though we are happy together, we can be happier still apart. I know that I am in love with him. I know that he is in love with me. I know that I will always love him, not as a lover, but as a friend I immensely care for. 
I cried today when I saw him. I never expected to. I knew it would hurt. I knew it would be hard. I just never expected to feel so lost and empty thinking of him as no longer mine, I no longer his.
We kissed today. I didn't mean for it to happen, but I wanted it. He asked for one last kiss, and I said yes. Tears streamed down my face; tears of sadness, tears of relief, tears of failure. It wasn't until I thought of not having him that I wanted him back so passionately. But even when I ended it I knew I would be in love with him still. 
We talked of getting back together. He told me to think, not to answer right away. I'm still not sure. It's another two months til we could be together with no more secrets. When everyone could know. A thought is to just wait til then, then be together again. Another is, why don't we get back together now? I love him so much. But, when we fight about that one subject, I always end up hurt & wounded. He doesn't mean to. I know he doesn't. It's just something he can't understand. But I am so sick of crying over this again and again.

In the end, it's all my decision.
Will I miss his kiss too much?
Will I miss him being in love with me?
Will I ever really stop being hurt?
Can I truly forget all I feel for him?
Am I right or wrong?
Is there a real answer for that?

fade; the only one remaining

i am not you
i am not you and you are not
me
realize that
i
i am a structure
that will not easily fall & fade
i will stay immense
unmoved
by your accusations and false feelings
my will
my strength
my truth
cannot
will not
be compromised for you

difference

we were one
we were one heartbeat, one voice, one smile, one being
i felt you in every movement
we fell together, rose together, broken and bruised together
we loved together
now it's different
we did not lose each other
i found myself
you do not fall or rise with me
i fall, i climb, i find the top
you do not bruise with me
i bruise, i break, i move beyond
it was not you
you did not pull away, you did not leave and let me drift
i just found the difference
between what was us
and what now is you and me
