Joy, and that bittersweet feeling
from a faded memory,
brought to the forfront
by a simple phone call.
surprise and shock
at hearing your voice,
I thought to never hear again,
your words "Mel,can I see you?"
and memories flood my heart
knowing that if I do,
all our habits
go back in place.
Your blond jokes
just to piss me off,
(so you can look down at me and laugh)
me making fun "about"
your canadian accent.
and I know that right now
it's just not a good time...
because the minute I see you
it would be just like before.
me falling way too fast
you keeping your emotional distance
and if I'm being honest
the truth is I don't want you
to know just how vulnerable
I really feel right now
so against the pull of wanting,
the past trying to consume me,
I ignore the picture of your
enchanting grin in my mind,
and the captivation of our romance,
and say the words I
didn't want to say
so I can protect my heart...
"Fred...I just can't."
Please tell me what you think

This poem is really great, and so very true! You could be totally over a person and not even think about them anymore, but when you see them or hear their voice it's like nothing ever happened... like they never left or broke your heart. You did a wonderful job with this! Keep up the great work!
