i've always thought that it is so
beautiful
the way that certain songs call forth
memories of vacations
and days spent lost in
the perfect novel.

i've always thought that it is so
remarkable
and so ******* sad
the way that i am reduced to
shaky knees
and ear shattering heartbeat
at the sight of you
-
and to think that time
had healed
and released
me from
you.
