I Wish I was Over You

I once wrote you a poem

and you said you cried

as your eyes scanned the lines

tears grazed your cheeks

 

I once sang you a song

and you looked at me

and smiled and asked how

I got to be so cute

 

I kissed your lips

for the first time

7 months ago

and you asked me for another

 

I held your hand

And grabbed your arm

Because the world was scary

And I wanted to face it with you

 

But you kissed my forehead

 

You stroked my hair

 

You held me as my body was racked by waves of sadness

 

... And you said you loved me

 

You said you still do

 

But now it's all gone

I'm not sure what to do
