james-shay - Hello Poetry

It's been a year and I still get butterflies when I talk to you. That feeling in my stomach when my heart wants to reach out to every part of my body and share the happiness you give it. "Butterflies". It's been a year and I still call it that. Butterflies happens when you're dropping on a roller coaster. Butterflies happens when your car goes over a bump and then you feel yourself falling down. This isn't that. This only happens with you. This is what they said I'd know it when I feel it. This has to be what they call love.

I can't sit at a table anymore without seeing you in the seat next to me I can't tie my shoe anymore without thinking of you getting mad at how slow I do it I can't listen to music anymore because every song sounds like you I can't sleep because you were my only motivation to wake up in the morning I lie to myself every morning to get myself through the rest of the day, "I'm over you" But in reality my feelings for you have only gotten stronger

The last thing I said to you was I love you. It used to be simple. Everything was fine. Now I’m being stripped of all that makes me sane. They put up a glass wall between us. We can’t speak, we can’t hear, but we can look. I’m sorry for everything I did To make you stop looking

I want my last words to be meaningful... Then again, everybody does. The sad truth is, no words come close to meaning. The fact that we have to take seperate words and put them together like a puzzle for someone to even understand it, which sometimes they don't, amazes me. I'm sure a time will come where a thousand pictures is worth a word, and not vice versa... Then maybe absence will be meaningful. Until then, I have no last words. None would properly fit the missing piece to the puzzle.
