you ruined my mind.
those memories we shared together

i'm constantly reminded of them in each moment that i run into something familiar

i see your smile in the sunset
i see your eyes in the clear waters
i see your lips in the warmth of a faded night

you carry yourself in a world we share and now that we have parted ways i can't possibly forget you.

the times i spend alone now remind of when there were two lonely people together.

i smile to myself remembering when i'd tease you, or when you'd sweetly say something out of the blue.

i'm reminded of your laugh in very simple phrases, or when someone describes their love for their someone.

i want your arms around me and my heart in your gentle hands.

it's but a fleeting moment where i remember.

then it's gone as i remember all the crushing moments and the walls i let you go through,
that no one has ever gone through,
just to break me too.
