Remembrance

I draw a tub of water.
I make it warm to burn me like
you did.
As I sit in the hot tub,
I think of you.
I think of all your
imperfections.
I think of all your
desires for me.
I think of the way you
kissed my neck.
And the way your hands
discovered more of me.
I think of your beautiful
voice.
I miss it so bad.
All the sleepless nights with
you.
I let you destroy me.

I think of your
way of thinking.
Damn conservative
that I loved so much.
I think of your spouts of anger.
I always thought the best of you.
Even when you didn't think the
same for me.

I drain the tub half way.
I fill it with cold water.
It reminds me of you.

I remember the way it
was always my fault.
I apologized expecting the same
in return.
We both messed up,
admit it.
Do you even miss me?
You were my first love,
Maybe I can get over it
soon.

Hey will, you remember me
when you're older.
Can you think of my bad days
and see I wasn't "too hard to handle."
I hope so,
and I hope she treats you right.
I want your happiness,
even if it isn't with me.
Thank you,
for the lessons I learned.
This is my good bye
to you.
