Tell me which was harder
Letting me go or
Leading me on?

Caution to the wind,
Will I ever see you again?

falling fast or falling slow
Does it matter when you’re the only one in tow?

“You’re like another sister to me”

In the second hand book store,
Among the dusty aisles of monstrous books
You will find a little girl.
She has mousy brown hair, hanging loose and tangled around her chubby cheeks.
In her big brown eyes she holds the endless possibilities of imaginary worlds.
In her hands she is clutching countless books
Some say she looks ***** and grubby
But if you look closely you’ll see that
her books are clean and pristine
For she so loved her books so much that
she was too busy in her fictional worlds
to care about reality

Speechless and frozen I sat as tears streamed down my face
The shock still hasn’t faded
Thirteen hour car ride to my favorite place
Only to not see you sitting in your chair by the fireplace

The shock still hasn’t faded
I’m laying in your bed
Surrounded by the smell of you
Swaddled in your blankets, my head is nestled where yours should have been tonight
