Ode to Phoenix

You came into my life a whisper;

One just barely heard.

You offered me a gift;

A gently spoken word.

                   

You never made demands.

You took what I could give.

You let me break your heart;

And then you let me live.

                   

When the whisper grew intense,

And soon became a roar,

We became consumed

As affection became more.

                   

When love began to blossom

Deep within our heart,

We came to see the need

To live our lives apart.

                   

A step not taken lightly,

But necessary, too;

Or else we would destroy

The best of me and you.

                   

So now we are no longer

The love that once we were;

But the friendship that remains

Is one that will endure.

                   

You came into my life a whisper;

One just barely heard;

And nestled in my life,

A gentle, caring bird.
