To the Love I Think I Lost
Very often
I think of you
Feelings arrive
of me missing you
Sometimes
I smell
Your scent in the air
It almost
Knocks me down
I feel
As though
I am suffocating
When I’m near
Your breath
And if I were
A flower
I fear
I would not
Survive
Under your care
This seems so unfair
But to the girl
Whose eyes sparkle
And smile glistens in the dark
To the Love I think I lost
Forgive Us
For the things
we will never say
To each other’s
Face
Out of sheer
Stubbornness
Forget
all the negative days
Don’t waste
Precious
Memory space
Fill those openings
With the moments
Our eyes
Were full
From
Tears of Joy
Remember the Laughter
Shared between us
On hot sunny days
And never dismiss
The moments
we laid in bed
Sharing our bodies
Imposing gratefully
On each other’s space
Hold on
to that last kiss
And
Whisper my name
Every time it appears
In your mind
Maybe I will think
Of you
And soon
My heart won’t beat
As fast
so much.
