You have been on my mind all day
Distracting with your smile
Sincere words from yesterday spoken
Memories reopened like an old letter
The world same as always
The one changed is you
Regret gives way to happiness
Forgiveness comes slow
Words can change lives
Actions can too, positive and negative
Smiling eases persistent pain
Laughter makes sorrow weaker
Truth can burn souls
Giving way to the most amazing kind of emptiness
I admit my brand of happiness is twisted
Love only complicates issues
Do you remember if you lied, or is it hard too keep track of all the dishonesty?
You are running away with my scattered mind and heart
Roaming brains think
My own head thinks
About love and the storms it brings
Wonderful is all I experience when I look at you
Not me or anything or anyone on this Earth has ever looked more beautiful than your perfectly flawed face
What happened to the loyalty you used to pour all over meaningless words?
Only time knows if you will stay or go
Or if the "new" you will continue to decieve and hurt me
Do not make me regret thrusting my trust into your grasp
I am a fool for those three syllables and you know it
Almost out of inticing words and sentences, as if you are reading this anyways
But if you are, the most important part is what I write next
I love you.
I just never like my freeverse writing
