i just wanted to close my eyes
and sleep for an hour
or maybe fifteen.
but when i closed my eyes
all i could see was you.

us.
when we were happy
and together.
everything made sense.

and now that you are gone,
suddenly everything reminds me of you.
the wind always seems to carry your scent.
and the strangers i pass seem to share the same music taste.
i look at my hands as i write and as i type
and you are there
because you left imprints
from when you held them, once so passionately.

im hoping that eventually
ill be able to stop the invasion...
because all i want to do is
sleep
eat
walk
live
without there being a trace of you
and the pain you are leaving me.
