if you could read my mind
oh, what you’d find
I think about our first date
when you got that peanut butter milkshake
and you knew I hated peanuts so you didn’t kiss me
these are things I just wish I couldn’t see
like your red Chevrolet truck
and the place where we first made love
when you told me you loved me
on highway 220
I want to erase them from my mind forever
but even if I had the chance, would I ever?
those moments made me who I am today
and now let me know how I should be treated someday
so when the next one comes along
he has a lot to live up to
because no one will ever love me the way that you do.
since I lost you i’ve been searching

everywhere to find what we had

I search in

people
    books
        friendships
            music

but I can’t find it

what we had wasn’t something you can find in an object or a warm body

what we had was a rainfall during a drought

water for the thirsty

food to the hungry

what we had was something I needed and longed for

and i’ll never have that again
the sun burns everything it touches
or at least that is what they say
and if that is true
and if I believe that
then maybe you were my sun
no matter how much you hurt me
I still held onto you like you wouldn’t rise again tomorrow
and even though you hurt me
you also made me grow
like a plant I soaked up your energy and we became one
but now it is night and you have gone
and like a planet I have shriveled into nothingness with the lack of you
and I cant wait till morning so you’ll be back again

— The End —
