In a run down house

Thinking of me

Hopefully

Missing me

Wondering how my days had been

When you'll see me again

I remember the first words you spoke to me

"Wonders never cease..."

And left me standing there

Pondering its meaning

I still do

But now they are broken down

With intervals of you

That night , after all that happened

I came by your house and sat on the driveway

You saw me sitting there

Outside in the freezing cold

You didn't say a word

Just sat down beside me

Grinning like a child with his favourite teddy bear

We had a whirl wind love story

Like those ones you find in the stories

I never thought they were real

Until you entered and swept me away

We were as happy as it was possible to be

We lived life on the edge

Living so dangerously

But we didn't care

We had each other

But I should have known it wouldn't last

Nothing good ever was

The accident...

Blood spilled everywhere

Car wrapped around the tree trunk

A huge gash in your head

I heard the doctor from the other room

"He's in a coma - it's for his body to heal

It's hard to know when he will wake

This isn't chemically induced."

I told myself it didn't matter

You'd get better eventually

Remember all the times

We laughed and played together

They all weren't for nothing

They meant something to both you and me

I was there

When you woke up from your coma

My eyes widened

As I saw the first movement

Your first movement for months

Though it felt like years...

You opened up those angelic eyes

Crystal Blue they were

Stared me in the face

Yet no spark came to your eyes

No recognition came to light

The doctor came a few minutes later

Did a full body analysis

"He has amnesia,I don't know if he'll ever recover those memories."

My heart crashed into my lungs

My breaths came thick and heavy

He has no memory of me

Nor the things we achieved...

I cried for a while

Yea, I did

But girl, you got to put yourself together

And save the world each day

Even if your life is in pieces

I sat outside your driveway

Like I did that first day

When the snow started falling

You came - like dawn after the morning

You didn't sit down beside me

Nor grinned like a child

Just said "Excuse me

Sorry,but do I know you?"

I picked myself

I knew by then

You weren't the same guy

The one I fell in love with

That December morning under the sky

"Hey, sorry to disturb you ,

Tell Sandra that I called,

Tell her the guy I loved -

He ain't no more..."

He didn't realise the context

What I was speaking of

"Sorry for your loss"

He said

"I'll pass on your message."

I got up

Brushed myself off

The snow clinging to my hair

I walked away from the guy I loved

My soul ,I left bared
