When I first met you, you were just another person who I'd come across.
Then you became my friend.
You became more than a friend.
... You became my life.
But you weren't mine just yet... I had to wait.
Yet, with you, it was like all my dreams came true... All that I'd never had, I found through you.
And when you finally became mine, I had everything.
Like a sunflower basking in the glory of crisp, warm sunlight...
Like a dolphin in the deep blue sea...
Like the laughter of merry children on a fine summer day...
It was like all the good things in the world had come to me.
Then you left... taking with you everything I thought I finally got.
You weren't gone forever... but you punched a hole through my chest with your love.
Now I can't breathe... I can see nothing but you, for you burned your merry image on the inside of my eyelids.
The lingering fragrance of your perfume...
The clothes that you left...
You lips against mine...
Your hand around mine...
Your body together with mine...
Everything reminds me of you.
Everywhere I go, I expect to hear you voice, teasing me... playing with me.
I walk into our room and expect to find you there... but I don't.
I hit my head and come running to you... but remember that you're not there to rub and kiss the throbbing bulge.
I toss over on the bed to hug you in the middle of the night... but find only cold, empty sheets.
No one can hear me screaming... not even you.
The sun has set, the ocean has emptied, and summer has given way to winter...
My world is spinning around, throwing me about like the rag doll that I have become.
I keep expecting your arm to rescue me from the tornado of loneliness... but I grasp at cold, cruel winds of time and fate.
I keep waiting for you...
:)
