I found comfort in the way you looked at me
while you spoke
and while you were silent

I loved the smell of your car
because it smelled so much like you
and your expensive cologne

You would trace hearts on my hand
while you held it
and close your eyes when I touched your face

You held me while I cried
during the sad part of the movie

When I think of the moment you left
I remember all the reasons why you had stayed
and cannot think of one reason
why you would want to go

Because why would you want to leave someone
that you thought was so beautiful?

By Chloe Elizabeth

When I think of you,
I think about what we had

And that if you came back,
I would surrender to your words

Not because you deserve
any more of mine

But because I don’t sleep
from thinking about holding your hand

I don’t eat
from thinking about the outline
of your lips
and how much I loved their shape

I don’t do anything anymore
because you decided to change
the way you wanted to spend your summer

And it wasn’t with me

I would take you back
because I have to,
because I need to,
because I don’t have the strength
to say goodbye to you
a second time
