stuck in the past

You are an ocean away,

Past the stormy seas and violent rain,

But in my mind you appear clear as day,

I'm unable to let go despite the pain. 


I still see your warm brown eyes and tender smile,

When you asked if I wanted to stay for awhile,

The soft touch of your arms wrapped around me,

As we swayed to the movements of the birch tree.                                      


I love you so much,

It pains me to see you with someone new,

Why wasn't I good enough for you?

Why couldn't I have been the one you choose?

I love you so much,

Words aren't enough,

To describe all the ways you make me feel,

How I float when I'm around you. 


I hate you so much

For leaving me behind

Without a warning sign

Like I was nothing to you

But then again maybe I was...

Maybe everything I assumed 

was misconstrued. 


I love you,

I hate you,

I feel everything in between for you.
