what is enough?

Just saw 500 Days of Summer. I can't wait for the sequel: Eternal Autumn. (seriously, though, what a good movie)

I wrote this poem three years ago, but it reminded me of the movie. And, since I am exhausted and happy tonight, that's all I got.

Enough
I can live without you.
Oxygen will still flow into my lungs
and keep my blood warm.
The sky will not fall on my head
in tiny, starlit pieces
and the buildings will still stand
like modern day giants.
This new backdrop, though gray,
will still offer me some beauty,
some reasons to smile.
I could watch you drift away
like a season, like a tide,
until your face disappeared
as a sail on the horizon...
...I could.

(Living without you, though, just wouldn't be enough).
