i remember when you would beg me to read to you in the early hours of the morning when conversation had kept us awake i could tell you were smiling by the sound of your exhales although my eyes never moved from the words on the page before me. we would make love until you were too tired to finish a whispered 'goodnight' i would follow you into dreams my last and first thoughts always of happiness
this was a long time ago before i left you, before you left me
that's the thing with love; it changes it begins like a fire embers and smoke until it's Winter you're alone and the smell of ash is making you remember everything you wish you could forget
