"love"
"kiss"
"you"
"romance"
"heartbreak"
"passion"
"her"
there are millions of words in the english language,
thousands of them flood me with that memory of you.
Just one memory that won't go away,
haunting me with the feelings I am trying so hard to forget.

I close my eyes for a second and I am there

We are under the street light at the lord elgin hotel.
My heart is beating a million miles a minute and I cannot believe I am actually going to do it,
I am finally going to kiss you.
I reach up to caress your face and pulled it close to mine,
then I lean in and our lips touch
it is not sharp or electric how I imagined it would be.
it is soft and passionate,
quiet yet beautiful.
our lips intertwined
releasing every emotion that we had pent up for each other over the past year

I wish we could have stayed like that forever

But we finally stop and wrap each other in a loving embrace.
"I love you" I whispered
"I love you"" you say back

I blink and the memory vanishes,
leaving me breathless.
"love"
"heart"
"beautiful"
"dalliance"
"hurt"
"feelin­g"
"her"
There are millions of words in the english language,
somehow they always take me straight back to you.
i used to write good poetry but i'm not sad anymore, so the words don't flow as easily. i think recovery comes with a price. i'm sorry. ( i bet you can still write beautifully even though you're better to and you probably never care to think of me anymore. thats okay)
