I Used To Know Her
For as long as I can remember, I’ve known her
We met sometime ago
In the sandbox
I grew quit fond of her
As did everyone that knew her
She was one that you hoped would be around for your entire life
We had an understanding of one another
She would be around only if-
I made wise decisions
As time continued to erase itself
I took for granted her presence
And forgot to acknowledge how much I needed her
Yet, she remained close
Yes, there were times where we became distant but,
She was always in reach
Until………
I stretched out to pull her close to me
But I returned only the air that I breathed
And the space that she had left
So yes, I used to know her
But as sure as I live this day
She now only exists in the most sentimental aspects of my being
We commune only through the remaining thoughts and images that I strain to hold on to
So much has changed now
Life is less meaningful
Time seems to spite me
For it seems as if depression lingers over my head
As time halts and remains motionless
Never fall in love with happiness
Or you will doom your soul to self damnation
Because I don’t know her anymore
My chance has passed
Its someone else’s turn
To know contentment
