Why is it that every streetlight
Every passing plane
Every headlight
Every voice
Every face
everyone
Reminds me of you

I would ask if your ok dear but you don't seem to notice me anymore. Like a fallen leaf in the fall wind you turned on me. Your bright blue eyes and Rosie cheeks just disappeared inside the greenery. I'd be here if you needed to be saved cause there's thousands of songs that still need to be played. You can dance around the hard wood floor, there's nothing dear that I want more. Then my hands on the small of your back and your head resting softly on my neck. I want to know that there's still purpose in this, not just frozen faces in photographs. Remembering scratches down my back or how Badly dear we got off track. I still can't navigate that course, because the compass in my head just spins and every deep breath I still pull you in. I'm accepting things though now, I just need to learn to not speak out loud.

I could swim through wormholes until the universe ends and I'm certain I'll never find anyone like you. I'd be a billion light years away, still clutching that same photograph.

I watched you as you slept, surrounded by the comfort of familiar walls. I kissed your cheek as an early goodbye, one that only I knew was nearing. I thought about that happiness you'd find, and the harsh reality that was waiting patiently for me. Your eyes lit up when you first made his acquaintance and you smiled like you used to for me. That feeling that you were sure I stole, slowly flowed back through your heart and years of black and white were suddenly now in color. You saw me for who I was, no one special at all. Someone that could easily be forgotten, if remembered at all. However, you dear are not simple to erase.

She was the hand that shakes with age, stubborn to turn the page. She was set far in her ways just routinely passed her days. I loved her for a year and she never knew me near. When she dreams it's shooting stars, burning bright like flaming cars. Everything she touches grows inside except her heart she always hides.
