You have left me.
Your presence here haunted me
Your absence haunts me
Where am I to go?
I think of you every waking moment,
Making a sandwich I imagine
your careful fingers whispering over the bread
and your clumsy hands stuffing it into your greedy mouth
Walking to work I see only
places we had stopped to kiss
places we had stopped to bicker
places we had glanced away from each other
Dancing I think of the way
you would move your hips and
we would share an awkward moment
beautiful and ugly
not knowing where to look
as our hearts gripped each other evermore
What has become of us?

SWEET
It was very heart wrenching, and sorta bitter sweet. Loved the last two stanzas and line. Awesome write. -
I like this, I got a laugh in spots like here: and your clumsy hands stuffing it into your greedy mouth... and am still smiling.Love is like that sometimes with another you can fall into their eyes and thirty minutes later be so repelled you can't get far enougth away Nice take on the prompt and good luck in the contest
