I've never known the romantic kind of love. But I know you sat there and listened to the nonsensical words that flooded from my mouth and somehow found their way to your ears. You showed me my worth and taught me awareness. I saw your perspicacious judgement and wondrous direction as a beacon. Even though you've left, the memories of you keep me warm when I am shivering with salty tears seeping through my lips. I look up at the same galaxy that you are under and I hope you see me in the burning stars and you join them up like dot-to-dots to form the first letter of my name which is also yours.

I thought you would come back
I never changed because I wanted to be
The True Love you first fell in love with
With you, my feelings were always heightened
My life, wilder
But now I have tired myself out with
The perpetual cycle that winds my soul
I am nostalgic for a former life
and love that doesn't exist any more

I get this feeling a lot
Same room
Same weather
Same regrets
Calm but numb
Binded together with
An underlying sadness

I carry around quotes I found
Saving them up to tell you one day
There is nothing here though
But the flowers I bought
They are drying up and dying
Like their owner
I think I need closure
