How Could Something So Small Take Up So Much Space in My Heart?

How could something so small

A glance a touch

A laugh a sigh

An echo that lingers

A reason to try.

A memory so light

But it carries such weight

A love so immense

That time can’t abate

How can something so fleeting,

So tender and brief

Leave a mark on my soul

A permanent grief

A flicker of joy

Yet a lifetime of pain

A love that stays with me

Again and again.

How could something so small

Take up so much space

A heartbeat, a promise

An empty embrace

And yet when it’s gone

I know I will see

That small thing that lived

Forever with me
