Memories

My love has left and without it true happiness I cannot find.
Memories of her haunt still me,
Her face is forever etched inside my mind.
A fate so cruel but my lover was not taken away,
The regrettable truth is that I did not want her to stay.

I can still remember the feel of her soft skin,
Of the way she looked at me.
Her love shone brightly in her brown eyes,
The only sound heard was her soft cries.
Now I think of those regrettable lies I told.
In order to hide my true feelings on the inside.

Memories of her haunt me.
The feel of her fingertips caressing me,
Or how it felt when she,
Was impressing me with her words of wisdom.
Those words that I was to scared to say helped me.

My losing her is like finally paying for all that I have done wrong,
Making me feel grim.
I miss the feel of her lips,
And just for a moment I slip but I will never forget she's gone.
I Know that she has finally moved on. 
I must stay strong on the inside and not lose my grip. 
Remember the decisions I made to move on.
No matter how wrong I must learn to live with my decision.
And now continue with nothing more than memories.
