I light that candle and sing that song to remind myself of you.

I put on that dress and wear that perfume, in hopes of you smelling it on me again some day soon.

I put on those glasses you find so cute and wear my hair that certain way.

I put on this smile, just for you, longing for you to kiss it off one day.



I blow out that candle and forget
that song you used to play.

I ripped up that dress and gave
that perfume away.

I broke those glasses that you
found so cute.

I took off that smile, just for you, and replaced it with a frown.



I know you will never know how
it felt to be loved by you, but I would almost take the frown over the pain of waiting for you to come visit, maybe even just once.
one day...
