having to constantly remind myself that the memories i have of you are overdue. You are no longer the lover of books and finer things. You no longer love blonde hair and hazel eyes you are new - not necessarily bad new, but new. the smell of a car fresh off the lot the pigmented, bright colors of a new pack of markers you are restarting, while i am stuck in motion someone stopped time and resuscitated me. It happens from time to time. I think I am done, that life is finally flowing and time is flying by, but it never ends. You are wherever I look, whatever i read, The bittersweet of whatever I taste. The good memories are kept close, inside a locket, near my heart - To remind me of who you where when you claimed to love me I loved you then, and I will love you now. If, and only if, you decide to ever reenter my life Do not be afraid I will break you in
