After all this time, I do still think of you,
And all the things we used to do.
The times that we would always laugh together
And the times that we would simply sit in silence.
I find things now that remind me of you,
And all the things we used to be.
The shampoo I used that you always loved
And the cologne you used to let me wear.
I hurt from the things that you once told me
And all the things we used to say.
The lies you spoke in our shared "love"
And the empty promises that you didn't keep in the end.
I want escape from the ways that you sometimes haunt me
And all the things we used to be.
I don't want to remember you or ever see you through.
Because now all that you cause me is pain.
~a.k.
