Nobody ever misses me right away.

I have a tendency of making my way into parts of your life that you don’t notice until long after I’m gone.

You’ll think of me in the laundromat, when someone three washers down has the same fabric softener I had just washed my clothes with the night before our first date.

You’ll think of me at the coffee shop, when someone ahead of you in line asks for three sugars and two creamers, like I used to.

You’ll think of me when your sister shows up to your house wearing the same nail polish I did the first time you kissed the back of my hand.

You’ll think of me when you’re in the car alone and you realize you don’t turn on the radio anymore, ‘cause our silence used to be better than whatever was playing.

You won’t really realize it until it’s too late and I’m too far gone.

Until I’m so deeply embedded into your memory and intertwined into your everyday life.

You won’t miss me immediately.

It’ll take some time.

Let me wrap my arms around you,
One last time,
So your scent stays with me forever,
And my heart will always have a part of you.

Let us walk to our special place,
One more time,
Holding hands
Where the grass was greener and the sun set beautifully.
A replica of what was once our love.

Hold me,
One last time,
So the memory will last
Of you and I.

Kiss me,
One more time,
So the fireworks and sparks
Can make a final appearance,
Dancing between us.

Love me,
One last time,
Until you have no love
Left in you, for me.

Whisper to me,
One more time,
Those sweet words of yours,
Getting to me in all the right ways.

Look at me,
One last time,
As if nothing could ever stop us,
Like we ruled the world.
Fate was looking for us.
Our love was destiny
And nothing was in our way.

I'm sorry she came along,
But your heart slipped out of my grip
Into the palms of another,
And maybe you and her were meant to be.

Even though I always thought we were,
I dreamed of infinities with you,
I risked our future,
I dared to plan the journey ahead of us,
Starting with you and I.
But that's all gone.


Our spark may be lost forever
When she came along,
But one more time,
Let me take you home,
Then she'll be yours.

I don't care of the future,
I don't care of the past,
I don't care of anyone else,
I just care about us,
And now.

So, Please,
One Last Time,
Smile for me.

Let me be yours

And I promise,
After that,
*I'll let you go.
