I know I may have been just a line in your story;
But I want to thank you for being multiple chapters in mine

Every time I tell our story
I feel your ghost looming
Holding me in your arms
Whispering the same song in my ear

Every time I tell our story
I fall in love with you
Just to lose you all over again

Maybe I'm just reading into things
...
Or maybe you do still love me

There you were
Standing so perfectly
With a smile that flipped my stomach every time it turned my way

"Are you okay?"
You asked,
pretending to be concerned.

What was I supposed to say?
Because no,
I was not okay
Pretending like we never happened.
*And acting like I never loved you
Is the hardest thing
I've ever had to do.

Past secret lovers
Moved about the kitchen
Neither one looked to the other
While the bitter silence deafened their ears
And dried out their voices
He was dying to ask her questions
And she was dying to explain

Do you ever miss me?                                           
                 ­                      Every single day.
Do you still love me?                              
Of course. A piece of me
will always be yours.

She began to walk away as he finally looked up to meet her eyes.

"Does he treat you well?"                                     
Better than anyone else has before.

Today I realized
You will always have a part of me
There will be no forgetting your taste
There will always be one random, lonely night
Spent with longing for you

And today I think I became okay with that
I think that's what moving on is

Realizing everything I feel is okay

They told me to drink you away
But the *****
Never got you off my mind

"Have you ever fallen in love?"*



And instead of being able to say any words, my heart stumbled across you for the first time in a long time. And our memories began to play in my mind. I could hear your laugh and run my fingers through your hair. I could feel my favorite shirt of yours that I always used to wear. My neck tingled as it reminisced the way you'd kiss it. Goosebumps covered my arms as if you were there, gently stroking them and whispering mumbled words into my ear.



"Yes, I have been in love."

"What was it like when you said it?"

*"I never did."

To me
Relationships will always have an expiration date
That's why I am never in one
Because I've said goodbye once
And that goodbye
Will last for the rest of my life

You said,
"Us-this whole thing; it was a mistake."


Well if that's true,
You're the greatest mistake I will ever make.

I hope that one day...

                                  


                                I'll be beautiful enough for you.

These words that paint the paper
Ache with your memory
...
My body aches for your hands
While your ghost taunts me

***** you.
You broke my heart
And now I can't
love anybody else.
