feelings
feelings I can't bear to let go of
the sweet scent I was never meant to smell
eyes like gemstones in sunlight
laughter
I felt -in a word- special
the memories flood back like a happiness that is just out of reach
wishing more then anything that I could go back to that place
maybe then it would have been different
heartache
heartache I can't hold on to
sleepless nights spent with teary eyes
words both confusing and frustrated
emptiness
I felt -in a word- broken
The only way I could find the light
the light that I remember so clearly now
was to brave the darkness
Author notes
this is about a friend of mine, an almost romance that never quite happened. I was too young to understand it fully and at the time it hurt like hell. But all I can think of now is what fun we had. Those were some really good times that seem stained with the tears that fallowed.
