I sit in solitude. Thinking about the events that have played out over the past month of us. You push me away only to reel me back in, knowing that I can’t resist you. How dare you? But it feels as though there is no limit to what I can take from you. I surprise myself every time you hurt me because I feel like I just bounce back, I can’t let go of what we were, what we are? Who we could be? The ghost of your memory will forever haunt my dream world, as you have tainted it with your graceful memory. I can’t ignore the part of me that is you. I see you when I look in the mirror, I see you when I look at the world. I guess I’ll never know what I am to you. You tell me one thing, but maybe we’re just so different. Perhaps our lenses are different magnitudes. But I can’t help knowing what my heart knows, what your eyes say when your words cannot. I make sense of how you feel by remembering the special glances we shared. The eyes never lie. I’ve danced with your soul, and now and forever, I am stuck in the moment you spun me. I can’t stop. I can’t let you go. Everyday I look forward to new ways of loving you, I want to keep spinning with you forever. So in this I beg of you, remember our dance. Remember our love. Spin me again.

For the past year I’ve worn your love around my neck, close to my heart.
For the past month, I’ve had to remove the love to represent that we are apart.
My neck feels naked without your love, and my heart feels empty without your touch.
You are so close, but the distance between us is so far.
It’s like being able to see the night sky, but not touch the stars.
A symbol of love hung around my neck, hanging in elegance making me feel so complete.
I’ve been shopping for something to replace the feeling of lost love, but no new item could compete.
So I stand here with my neck bare, and feelings spared,
wondering what I could change, and where I can find a new love, an eternal love to wear.

— The End —
