Looking out the window

You're no longer there

The smell of you

Still lingering in the air

One day, one night

A thousand years

It felt just right

But now you're not here

Eyes closed

Bodies merged

I gave in to you first

Whispered in the dark until you heard

Quiet nights, loud heartbeats

Laying down on you,

I was so strong yet so weak

If only you knew

Legs in water

Finding and grasping your toes with mine

Saw you dance with her

But I knew you were mine

Your blue shirt buttoned up on me

The day I met you, etched in my memories

I wish we lasted, if only we could

If the world didn't prevent us, I'm sure we would

I know you think of me

I can feel your thoughts tingle the hair on my neck

I think of you too,

I know that you can tell

But what does it matter,

It's all lost forever

Your new shiny shoes, ties and wives

Seeing you in a completely new life

It's messing with my mind

You said past is past,

If only it hadn't gone by so fast

Fifteen years and then twenty

I'm still hoping that you'll find me
