You were my umbrella,
through rough winds and inclement weather.
To withstand and withhold,
you were my protection, my stronghold.
Beneath you I sought shelter -
something I had never done before.
Holding you closely,
observing you in admiration and awe.
Life swayed in all directions,
testing your strength and yet you stood.
Until one day a storm came,
and separated us for good.
Turned inside out,
taken capture by the wind.
My love for you was timeless -
a wound that never healed within.
