And maybe it does happen
Just
Like
That

You wake up and you're not in love anymore

I reread all the letters you wrote to me
And I tell myself that you still feel that way
As I pray that this newfound loneliness will subside
Because I used to be my happiest at your side

And it made sad
You didn't want to see the words
That I so delicately crafted
To express the beauty that occurs
When I am entwined with you

And that's what set you apart from all the other lovers
The fact that for the first time in my life I got to collapse into someone's arms
And I wasn't required to be the
strong, independent, fearless person the world saw

I simply got to unravel, unload
*And breathe

You let me see the most wonderful parts of you
And even when that person ceased to exist
I couldn't let go
Because the hope that he might return chained itself around my heart

The heartbreak
When "Is"
becomes
"Was"

I sit alone in the dark
And reminisce the essence of your touch
Feel your whisper across my skin
Let my memory intoxicate me with your smell

I wonder if you're holding another woman tonight
If she notices the softness of your eyes
And gentleness of your touch
The kindness of your kiss

I hold onto the fews pieces of you I still own
"I'll alway's be your first"
I mumble to the emptiness of the room
And the feeling of missing you takes over
