I miss the way your scent lingers
like warm rain on hot pavement,
Like the smell of fresh cut grass after a day of landscaping
When flowers bloom their brightest hues
I miss your touch,
Your fingers tracing the lines on my skin like as if you are
reading a book written in braille,
Stirring memories of days of old
When your touch caused shivers up and down my back
As if I was struck by lightning
Convulsing as if I was pop locking to the latest hip hop
beat
I crave you
I craved to feel you when you were gone
Like a crack head looking for their next fix
And I’m searching for you in the daytime with a flashlight
I miss you
I miss the laughter we shared how it came without warning,
bright as cracked sunlight through a window
lifting me into something lighter, something hopeful.
Something better
You
Gave me hope of forever
and beyond that
Infinity
The love that was waiting for us
Our hearts beating in sync
Your hand finding mine
Our conversation in hushed whispers
with our heads together
In our own little world
The bubble we created
We were the best kept secret
Never wanting to let go or
go
Like school children during summer break
We always looked for one another.
Everywhere
In every text,
In every glance,
In every shared space
That was us..
Now I wander those places alone,
searching for the weight of your presence
in every paragraph of memory.
Damn, what happened to us?
