I watched the sun jealous of how its light kissed your skin
I would think of you in my deepest depression
I would watch in glee as you would form the most breathtaking smile on earth
You changed the way I saw art
The way I saw the world
You moved as graceful as Russian acrobats, feet light like ballerinas pirouetting into dawn
I sculpted my idea of perfection into you and imagined it going to bed with me at night
I took the burden of your emotions, your fears, your hopes, your dreams, your secrets, and guarded them in my heart as light weight
I have drawn you so much on school papers that my professors count you as bonus points
I promised myself I would not write about you but I can't stop my pen from stroking the paper with your name
Although you have strayed from our bond I'm terribly reminiscent of you
I used to notice how you would gravitate towards me whenever we were in the same room
I have watched in silence you kiss others with the same disappointment you feel for your father
I imagine me where they are
Eyes closed, heart open
Anticipating your kiss and somewhat hoping you're doing the same
I imagine the light in your eyes in the aftermath
I imagine the light that once lit up my entire universe
How can someone get over a person like you?
I often cry at night, praying you would come back to me
I sit in silence at our special places touching everything we touched together
Feeling the cool breeze caress my skin the way you once had
I feel the emptiness twice as much those days
