There are storms in my head that you used to calm down...
You were the eye of the storm...
Everything about you was so calm and beautiful...

What do you do when you lose someone...
You pick yourself up...
You dust off your knees when you fall...
You wipe the tears away...
You suppress the memories...
You forget their touch...
You forget their voice...
You forget the things they loved doing...
All that stuff I said doesn’t apply...
You’re going to miss them...
You wish you could forget...
You want to move on but can’t...
You cry every night...
You miss their touch...
You miss their voice...
You miss doing the things they loved...
When you miss it’s hard to forget...

I stare at the stars and wonder...
They are scattered like my thoughts...
Surrounded by darkness...
Yet have light of their own...
A star showed me something I did not see...
You make your own light...
When surrounded by darkness...

You move on, forget and forgive...
You forget the pain they caused...
You forgive them for everything...
You forgive yourself for hurting them...
You forget your own damage you caused...
You move on toward the future...
If they decide to follow you, then let them...
Hold their hand and be happy together...
Hold their soul dear...
You damage it again that’s it...
They stepped in your life again...
Don’t take it for granted...
It might be the last time you see them...
Just remember everything falls in place for a reason...
I just hope you choose the right path...
Follow what calls to you...
Look with your heart...
Listen with your mind...
Feel with your soul...
Time is all we have...

You
Poetry is how I escape my mind...
I’m finding it hard to write this...
I kept deleting each sentence...
I wanted to make sure it was perfect...
Like you...
I want to repress my memories of you...
My mind plays jokes and laughs at me...
It seduces my heart and pulls on the strings...
I lost the key to my soul then you showed up...
You were the skeleton key...
You opened everything in me...
Now all I have is a loose door with squeaky hinges...
Thank you for changing my light when it was out...
Thank you for jump starting my heart...
It was slowly fading away...
Now it pumps because of you...
Thank you for everything...

I have this garden of flowers...
The variety is beautiful...
My sunflower was taken...
Please water it everyday.
Please give it sunlight.
Please nurture it.
I lost my Sunflower. Please help me find her.

The waves crash on the shore...
It buries everything under it...
The sand becomes soft...
Leave behind your footprints...
In time the wave will clear your path...
Look clear across the water at the horizon...
That warm glow behind the clouds...
Let it fuel your heart...
Lean towards it my sunflower...
In time everything will fall in place...
My Sunflower...
