I still hold you, unknowingly, in the dark crevices of my heart. I haven't locked those feelings away because they do suddenly resurface time and again. I have no choice, I let them rise. I sit still and let them wash all over me. Let them consume me and get a reaction out of me. It is mostly tears running down my face or my eyes welling up at the least. I don't wipe the grief away because the love I hold for you should never cease. I still hold you, unknowingly, in the dark crevices of my heart.
