you made your mark on me
as our legs intertwined

how could i ever forget you
when all my clothes smell like you?

your scent lingers on my body
long after we said our last goodbyes

did you mean it
when you kissed me?

"appreciate what we had
rather than wishing for more"

you shattered my heart with words
when all it did was loving you.

i miss him
i miss sitting on the beach at night
you wrapped your arms around me
kissing under the stars
in the dead of winter
i felt truly alive with the warmth inside

i miss him
i miss laying in your bed
your body snuggled up to mine
those intimate moments we shared
the blankets slipped off
but our bodies have never felt so whole

i miss him
i miss riding in your car
passenger side, you were blasting my favourite song
said the lyrics were for you, my love, and your green eyes
it never finished playing
but your eyes felt like coming home

i miss him
but "him" is not a person
"him" is a feeling

the feeling of being wanted
the feeling of being hidden inside someone else's treasure chest
the feeling of coming home to your arms
where you'd kiss me and whisper
"baby, i missed you"
... where have you been all this time?

i hope that in another universe
there's another you
and another me
and they are so
desperately
helplessly
happily
in
love

because they never gave up the first time.
