You were the only person I've never tried to save...
That says a lot about you and a lot about me...
We've NEVER Been us...
We've never been free to be anything more than what we are.
I've never wanted to save you...
You can do that yourself...
Just maybe I'm waiting for you to save me.
Or we can save each other.
You taught me that a relationship is two people bettering ourselves.
I believe you.
I'm waiting for us to better ourselves.  
For us to get away and  be us.
To have a shot, one chance.  
That's it... our saving grace

E.J.M.

There is this hollow space beneath my breast bone where you use to be...
The absence of you is a void....
I miss you no less today than I did 2 years ago... or every time you went away...
The absence of you doesn't really cause me pain...
There are just days where I wonder how you are?
When I think of you more...
When I feel the absence of you in my soul...
I wonder if it ever goes away?
I feel branded by our love...
Like a tattoo of what we were... left over scarring in your absence. ..
It reminds me of your heart...
Beating next to mine...
That's no longer there...
just this unfilled void where our love went....

E.J.M.

It was wrong to touch you...
It was wrong to love you...
It was wrong to miss you...
Wrong to call you..
Wrong to tell you that I'll never love another...
Wrong to make you mine....
Wrong to see you...
Wrong to want you...
Wrong to ache to be with you. ..
Yet I can't stop...
But I have....
And I still want all of these wrong things. ..
I still feel all these wrong things about you...
How could we ever be right?
Encompassed in all the wrong things?
Let me know when it gets right for us....
I'm overwhelmed with the wrong....
and then I hear your voice....

E.J.M.

'I promise'
Said the girl whose words are lies
"This time I can"
Said the boy who's afraid to try,
"It is too late?"
Said the woman who's always behind time,
"I love you"
Said the man whose heart can never be mine.

The reality of us is that we are going different directions to accomplish the same life....
We live separately but love jointly. ..
I'd like to believe that we loved for a reason.
I'd like to believe that one day we have a real chance at love with ourselves.
I don't know if that is a reality for us...
One day I'll see you again and will love you the same...
But I hope for a different outcome.
I miss your face...
And I carry your heart in my heart...
Until reality sets in....
E.J.M.

I still look for you...
Even though I know you aren't there...
It's over... but it's not
we were the wrong time....
or not enough.
There isn't a heart wrenching loss...
just the subtle ache as i drive past our place.
Maybe one day you will love me...
there's always the maybes..
I can't write and I can't call...
can't speak a word...
but then what would I say?
I leave us unspoken....
But always know that I miss you....
in the dull voided aching way that one does in a helpless love...

E.J.M

We've done this before,
You and I

I mean, it wasn't
You and it never
Has been before but
The spirit never changes

When you look at me
I feel faint and
It's all I can do
To go to that spot where
We first met in hopes
Of finding you again

I don't know your name
Because our meeting was
Fleeting but maybe we
Could fix that, someday

Or not
