I won't call you.
I won't send you birthday cards.
I won't look you up on the internet
Or write to ask how you are,
And we won't catch up like old friends.

But in my mind for a split second,
You'll still drive every little black car I see.
And when that song comes up on the radio,
There will be a ghost in my passenger seat.
You'll stay smiling in the pictures that I print out just to hide.
And I'll make up stories to write my poems,
But slip you there in the spaces between the lines.

She was a river.
Always poured
Too much love

But never realized
Watering a rock
Doesn't make it soft.

Unexpectedly meeting you
Was a blessing.
But keeping you forever
Was my favorite lie.

Maybe it's not you that I'm missing, maybe it's just the memories.
Maybe when I close my eyes and picture your face, it's not you that I'm yearning for. Maybe I am longing to be looked like that again, to feel that soft, loving gaze on my skin.
Maybe I'm not missing your touch. Maybe instead i miss how it feels to have someone hold me, to rub their fingers against mine so tenderly, to feel the warmth of a lover's touch.
Maybe I don't ache for the time when we used to lie down and look at the sky talking about future. But maybe I miss to feel a body next to mine opening it's heart's secret.
Maybe I ache for someone to laugh with me, to make coffee for me and wake me up with sweet kisses.
Maybe I long for an arm around my shoulders when we walk down the streets.
Maybe I just want someone to call mine.
Or maybe I'm just lying to myself and what I'm really missing is you!

My biggest fear is not that you will lie to me or cheat on me. My fear is that one day you will wake up and instead of leaning in and kissing on my cheek, you will look at my sleeping body and start to notice all my flaws.
My crooked nose, chapped lips, stretch marks all over my stomach and thighs.
You'll remember the time when i get too annoying or how selfish i can be sometimes.
You'll walk into the kitchen and brew a cup of coffee, staring at the pale morning while realizing that for no particular reason, you don't love me anymore.

And after a long time,
I met him.

And couldn't help but fall again
For those soft, brown eyes,
Shining with so much love.

Couldn't help but fall again
For that deep, husky voice,
And that warm, contagious laugh.

Couldn't help but fall again
For that gentle, protective touch,
Still making me tingle.

Couldn't help but fall again
For all the playful teasing,
And then making up by sweet kisses.

And now,
Can't help but blush
Thinking about the time spent together,
Waiting for the next to come.

Darling,
Every star in the sky is celebrating the dawn of our love.

Have you ever loved a rose,
And bled against her thorns.
Swore each night to let her go,
But loved her more by dawn.
