I laid there,
with you,
intertwined.
My hands running through the grass,
and your hair,
gripping at the moment
but losing it as I exhaled every breath.
Looking into your eyes
and then past your face as I realize
that it is all just one big dream
a fairytale.
The clouds begin to evaporate as the moments pass by
without taking notice of how I might be feeling
in the past, present, or future.
I prayed there,
for you to come back,
to forget,
to remember.
Maybe I needed something bigger to tell me that
I don't need you anymore,
that your empty words
were just that, lies.
That someone who really loved me
wouldn't do that to me.
Wouldn't just leave me behind,
without noticing how I might
feel.
I swayed there,
in your arms
waiting for you to
kiss me,
to hold me,
to love me.
But you let me go.
