Not Letting Go

Sometimes I miss you
Late at night
Alone in my house
In the quiet moonlight

And I sit in bed
And look at pictures of us
And play your favorite songs
Read your notes that are covered in dust

I saved all your old things
And kept memories safe
I still think of you
On lonelier days

Sometimes I wear jewelry
You gave to me
Or sing our song
In hopes you'll somehow hear me

I relive past memories
That day on the ice rink
All those movie nights at your place
Those things you made me think

And that dance we went to
And all those walks in the park
The kisses in rainstorms
And that late night on my front porch

I think about your curls
And your voice
And your eyes
I think about your laughter
And all the severed ties

And we no longer speak
And you don't glance my way
And even though I broke your heart
In mine you somehow stay

It's not that I miss us
At least, I don't think so
I just miss having someone there
And I can't let you go

Our Song

I switched on the radio, And heard that familiar tune, The song you used to sing for me, whenever I was with you.

I Miss

I miss happily losing sleep. Now I just lose sleep. I miss those little morning messages. Those beautiful little beeps. I miss wasting time together doing nothing. Now I just waste time on regret.

I Forget

Why is it that everytime we speak, we talk, we laugh I lose the track of time around Where we sit or stand or walk And the world goes quiet for just a while But enough for me to see To feel, to...

Survival

You don't even remember, I'll never forget Your hands on my body, Your kisses on my lips. In that moment Of passion, drunken-love, I had it all. And it will have to be enough.

Summertime Dream

#10wordchallenge Standing in the wistful wind and eager RAIN, The sweet mix of JAZZ and blues playing in my ears; I close my smokey eyes, and DREAM of that NIGHT, And wipe away a mascaraed tear.

Remember The Dandelions

Do you remember the grass. How it blew in the wind. And the dandelions. That scattered in spring. Do you remember the rain. How it showered but still. We'd remain where we sat. Queen and king.
