I breathe like your laugh
is taking up all the air
in my apartment, like
maybe I'll **** in a story
you left buried under a
blanket in the corner,
like all I have left of you
is a few endings to a
couple of sentences
whispered into my ear.

I am secretly enamored by her beauty

I watch her reflection in glass

I follow at a distance to catch her sweet fragrance

I sometimes sit where I know she sat last

I trace thoughts of her in my memory

Hoping I'll soon see her again

And that the day will be breezy

So I can watch her hair blow in the wind

someday i'll meet a guy,
who not too confident,
and not too shy,
he'll treat me like his little princess,
my crown is his heart...

he'll kiss me on the forehead
make me smile when i'm sad,
he'll always respect me,
and treat me like a baby...

he'll accept my imperfections,
and love me without question,.

we'll both make mistakes,
but will know that love is give and take
he'll make me laugh all day,
no more loneliness,
no more skies of gray..

he'll sit beside me till i fall asleep on his shoulder,
and he'll pamper me forever,
and promise me,
a happy ever after... :)

Hold me close.
Kiss me hard.
Wrap me in your passionate arms.
Let your tears run to my hair.
Mine have certainly beaten yours there.

You may not see me for months.
I may not see you for weeks,
So press those lips against my cheek.
Let them leak your words so sweet.

Look into my yearning eyes.
Allow yourself to join my cry.
Whisper all your promises,
Because I have not left yet.

The sadness of the present days,
Is locked and set in time.
And moving to the future,
Is a slow and painful climb.

But all the feelings are now,
So vivid and so real.
Can't hold their fresh intensity.
As time begins to heal.

A wound so deep,
Will never fade away.
Yet every hurt becomes,
A little less from day to day.

Nothing can erase the painful,
Imprints on your mind.
But there are softer memories,
That time will let you find.

Though your heart won't let the sadness,
Simply slide away.
The echoes will diminish,
Even though the memories stay.
