I reminisce about those nights,
Us together under the bright city lights,
Those times I had you so very close,
Your scent still lingers on my nose,
Tears cloud my eyes,
Sobs escape me in sighs,
I cared for you that much,
As I relished in your touch,
Now all I have are those memories,
But unlike a book full of stories,
These are vivid, real, haunting,
To realize what I lost is daunting,
But I always look to the bright side,
All those times I took you out for a ride,
I was blessed with your sweet smile,
I listened to your pretty laugh mile after mile,
This is the substance of my dreams,
Even in the light of day it seems,
Yet sometimes I think it a cruel joke,
How I lost what I didn't have, my heart broke,
And I'll always have the benefit of my doubt,
Had I not faltered; what would we be about?
