Sometimes

(most of the time)

I get sad

because I think about you

more than I'd like to.

Sometimes

(when I'm sad)

which quite frankly is all the time,

I get nostalgic

and think about

the freckles on your skin

and your piercing light eyes,

your crooked smile

and

your raspy

voice

who once sang to me love songs

(and now curses my name every time they play on the radio)

Sometimes

the taste of your lips still lingers

and I find myself

shutting my eyes,

whilst my cold fingertips

slightly brush my lips

almost as if trying to reciprocate

what you once made me feel

although I know

it's practically impossible

to feel

what you once made me feel

because with just a simple smile

you made my heart beat faster

and the butterflies in my stomach would flutter

each and every time

as much as the very first one.

Sometimes

I just lay in bed

and I reminisce

and think

about you and me

and how your hard fingertips

felt against my soft skin,

and how your body

fit perfectly against my own

how no matter how crappy my day was,

you'd tell me

that it would all be alright

because I had you by my side.

These thoughts just linger on my mind

and it's killing me

because you are the greatest thing

i can never (again) call mine.
