Just as my foot steps in sand
Are washed away by incoming waves

As the dust in the air fades away
My visions of you are just now dreams

Now these dreams of  you
Are now only thoughts

For I have now forgotten your name
And your not even a thought

Time has past and I try to remember
A good time with you

Which I now feel is impossible thought

Oblivious to time  
wasted my prime      
I did a crime          
of wasting time

The fluttering of the butterflies tickle my insides
Every joke, every compliment, every satisfying word
I am in love with the idea of you, the
way your smile meets perfectly with your cheekbones
The way your eyes strike mine in a moment of intimacy
I am in love with your presence,
your smell, and your laugh

Your love is like the fierce wind
I can't see it

But I can feel it

there's an envelope with your name
on it
a letter left untouched
by the soft fingers belonging on your
beautiful hands
the same hands that gently touched
my face
wiping off my tears

the same tears that you caused me
frequently
your painful words stabbed me like a knife

now I write to you
confessing my love like a sin
and I'm sorry
but I'm no longer yours and you're no
longer mine

IT'S 2:30 AM AND I'M SCARED TO
FALL ASLEEP KNOWING I'LL WAKE
UP WITHOUT YOU BY MY SIDE ON
THE PILLOW YOUR HEAD NEVER
MET
