there's a trace of you
in every piece i write.

the laugh lines
that encompass the
curve of your smile
only exhibit
the nights and days
that we spent
relishing life
(and each other)
like we thought
it would last

of all the simple things

that makes my heart happy,

you are the only one

full of complexities

Holding onto the smell of your t-shirt,
Remembering the life in your smile,
From this day on I swear I’ll remember,
The light in your eyes.

You swore you’d never leave,
Something foolish I chose to believe,
When the walls came crashing down,
Silently.

I knew all the mistakes we made,
Troubles faced,
But you kept my hopes up every day,
Moving forward.
Through tear streaked eyes,
Starry nights,
Painful goodbye’s,
And a sinking feeling,
You kept me going strong.

But I never knew,
This perfect life would end,
Unraveling,
Just like a thread.

My head keeps spinning.

And that one time,
You no longer love me,
I’ll say I’m fine,
Continuing on.

I knew all the mistakes we made,
Troubles faced,
But you kept my hopes up every day,
Moving forward.
Through tear streaked eyes,
Starry nights,
Painful goodbye’s,
And a sinking feeling,
You kept me going strong.

You were my summer love,
Come and gone,
Just like a sunrise,
You never knew,
The things I’d do,
To keep you from falling...

... When I already fell.

I knew all the mistakes we made,
Troubles faced,
But you kept my hopes up every day,
Moving forward.
Through tear streaked eyes,
Starry nights,
Painful goodbye’s,
And a sinking feeling,
You kept me going strong.

You kept me going strong,


But now my summer love has come and,
Gone...

i don't ever want you
to let me go

but

i don't know
if you really have me
at all
