I'll Never...

I'll never see you waiting
On the corner by the train station again;
Hair a mess, beard, dishevelled, skinny jeans,
Listening to music and singing
Like you don't care what people think.

I'll never spend another evening
Sprawled across your bed as we both get
Slowly drunk, warm, comfortable, numb
On a bottle of dark rum,
Until I stay longer than I should.

I'll never fall asleep against your shoulder;
Your arm slung around me, fingers
Teasing the knots from my hair,
Watching films about nothing and everything,
Wasting time together like we have forever.

I'll never smell your aroma again;
Aftershave, beer, old leather,
As you hold me in a hug,
My head pressed against your chest,
Forehead scraped from bearded kisses.

I'll never forget the words you spoke,
Wise beyond your years,
To allay my worries, fears;
You made me whole again,
And now I'll never be the same...
