I think of you, always.
It sounds so cliche to say
that I’ll love you, forever.
That I am dead without you
I still have your picture, framed.
I can't seem to put it away.
God my heart is broken, another cliche.
I sleep only in hopes of dreams of you,
when I realized I stay awake, waiting.
Expecting you still to come, to me.
Smells trigger memories, settled,
and I let them linger on, dwelling.
Then fantasize you’re not gone, evermore.
God my heart is broken in two.
I can’t live for tomorrow, or today.
I live in yesterday’s memories, of you.
How do I mend my broken heart?
I can’t.
I chose to live remembering you and me.
I can’t, I won't let go, of us.
Author notes
It's been over two years and I can't, still.
