They Say

I kiss now and it's never anything. Sure the motions are made and mostly done well. But what I find is nothing there. Unremarkable and unnoticeable like bumping into someone on the street. Just something that happens. Certainly not the fire I felt living behind your smile. Then again we never really kissed with just our lips. People tell me this gets better. You forget what you felt when your eyes met. You forget how for a little while reality was good.   You forget a whole life, a whole world. You just move on. That's what they say. But how can that be true at all if I can still see your face in the sunset? I can still taste you in summer. I hear you in every single song. Can't decide if I was broken first or after. Life was just better sleeping next to you. Your the only thing I feel and it burns. Some days I think I might walk straight into that fire. But they say that you should never give up. They say there is always hope. Things will work out and I will see. What are the chances of being wrong twice, right?
