I still remember how you made me feel on the day that first we met, how the air seemed to leave the room, and time paused as you smiled at me. I still can feel the too rapid beat of my heart, as you walked closer, and the burning flash of revelation when I knew you were the one, my one and only one. My heart still swells and my eyes still weep when I think of how you took my hand and said “yes”, you would be mine, and my heart nearly stops when I remember the day the doctor said, “We did all we could.” and I lost you, forever. But I still have my memories, memories of you, of us, of how I felt, having you in my life. I wrap them around me, like a blanket against the cold, pull them over my head, and hide, from the pain and the loneliness. Time goes by, as it always does, and my wounds fade but never heal, and I’m not sure that I want them to heal completely. Without their searing flames my memories of you could cool and die, leaving me defenseless and alone, in a world, without you.

Without You
I still remember how you made me feel on the day that first we met, how the air seemed to leave the room, and time paused as you smiled at me. I still can feel the too rapid beat of my heart, as you walked closer, and the burning flash of revelation when I knew you were the one, my one and only one. My heart still swells and my eyes still weep when I think of how you took my hand and said “yes”, you would be mine, and my heart nearly stops when I remember the day the doctor said, “We did all we could.” and I lost you, forever. But I still have my memories, memories of you, of us, of how I felt, having you in my life. I wrap them around me, like a blanket against the cold, pull them over my head, and hide, from the pain and the loneliness. Time goes by, as it always does, and my wounds fade but never heal, and I’m not sure that I want them to heal completely. Without their searing flames my memories of you could cool and die, leaving me defenseless and alone, in a world, without you.
More crap from my leaky mind.
