fade.

within my last thoughts,
as I slowly start to fade away;
I start to think of you.

it is almost as if you were really there.
but I know,
deep down inside,
you always will be.

no matter how hard I will try,
to cut it out,
to cry it out,
to write it out,
nothing will ever cure this pain that I feel when I think of you.

the only thing different about this time,
is that,
I have finally done it.
with or without you,
i'm finally done.

while I sit there,
alone,
I remember that there was never an "us".
I remember all of the laughs we had shared.
I remember how close I was to having you.

I remember everything.
