Love Poem: Memories Fade

Memories Fade

I hoped by now I would be a pro
At hiding my feelings to put on a show
But then I see you in the haze
 I become oblivious and memories fade

At night as I sink into my bed
Memories of us clutter my head
The sun rises and claims the new day
No dreams last night just thoughts as I lay

I’m off to work on the one forty two
But the LA Port reminds me of you
It’s impossible to forget you. You’re everywhere
As I stare out the window I fight back a tear

I wonder what you’re doing, if you’re thinking of me
But as I wipe my eyes, I know it can’t be
I can’t live another day in this misery
Why doesn’t my heart know what my eyes have seen?

Everyone keeps saying, “You’ll find another”
But that will end the same, so why should I bother
Besides that’s no way to live your life
You’d cause your heart so much strife

There’s only one person who can make it better
All I need to know is that he said, “I miss her”
I’m holding on with all I have just waiting for a sign
Hoping there will come a day I can once again call him mine
