Thanks Again

i met a beautiful girl once
and we didnt click
i thought she was beautiful
i was going to die
i had another lover
my heart held hostage  by my previous enchantments
i am sorry i never ran away with you
i feel shallow for feeling so

am i such a monster?
to love someone who does not reciprocate?
i miss the way you made my bedroom smell
i could kiss you forever
i almost heard you say I love you
i should have said it first
twice
three times more
I saw you become ready to be with me
i never took the chance
and I watch it slip away

i confessed my regrets
after a few too many drinks
and your only response was
never again
were just friends
even that not true
a time when it seemed we needed eachother
i chose to be alone
i still think about it
i wonder if you think of me?
you had a strong stance


time went by and we found eachother company again
very briefly
and the chemistry was magical
i could not explain it
and then we melted into the ground
the heat a punishment

this is the furthest away youve ever been
when will i forget you?
my feelings like titanium links
pulses of the earth grounding through my heart
im on an island in a metal box
ashes to your diamonds
did you mourn me?
or was I just something to pass the time with?
some one to test your taste?
i will never know
im not sure if i want to
thanks again
