A place where I long to be.
Remember.
A place that brought unimaginable peace.
I see you driving down the narrow road painted with yellow petals
The rain pushed aside on your windshield as you hum your favourite tune.
You see it too. You feel it too.
Baby, remember.
Remember me and you.
Music blasting and I know the lyrics to every song that comes on the radio.
Your worrisome brow knitted in shock because my lyrical memory is worth mentioning.
Baby, remember.
Taken in by the sights as we drive between yellow-petaled trees,
I look at you and smile.
The love that burns in my heart I yearn to give you but you wouldn’t let me oblige.
Your laughter is something funny to think about.
Your smile is imprinted in my memory and I would give anything to see you look at me all day with that reticent smile plastered on your lips.
The struggle to keep things at bay and the image it will take to scrub my mind clean will be the last thing I think of as I cry myself to sleep.
I think about you at night, even in the daytime.
I imagine what it would have been like had I waited…
Had I waited to show my heart, my cards, my full hand?
Had I waited and said nothing, we wouldn’t be in this sinking sand.
You wouldn’t feel the need to retract with a retort so impressive,
no matter the pain that struck my heart, I wanted to give in. Be submissive.
You placed me in the line of fire when you made your attraction known.
You placed me in the line of fire when I wanted to be consumed by you.
You withdraw your hand so quickly, I never saw it coming.
The pain that twisted my heart made a four-chambered master into a single one.
I cry because the pain doesn’t subside.
I laugh because your jokes are still in my head.
I see you everywhere I go.
I feel you in everything I do.
So remember baby, the nights you lulled me to sleep with enveloping arms and a pounding heart.
Please remember baby, I needed you from the start.
Take me with you, I never wanted us to part.
Hold my hand as we fade together in the dark
I am angry and torn because you left without a word.
I am angry and torn because you were ripped away and I wasn’t warned.
My love for you will never die.
I will never let you go because you will smile at me again.
You will laugh that ridiculous laugh that lights up the corners of my face.
I will never let you go despite what you may want me to do.
Because especially at nighttime, I only want to see you.
