Reminders

Poem I wrote for my soulmate when we were separated.

There's something about the winter time

that reminds me of you

the smell of the cold air

your sweet perfume

the bright lights in the street 

they light up the dark

but right now 

they can't even light up my heart. 

That tune rings in my head

that reminds me of you

of the struggle to let go

and that friday night view.

How you asked my permission

to give me a kiss

It was your first one

and those sweet minty lips. 

There's something about places

how they never change

no matter the time

the memories remain. 

The songs that played 

and the memories made

I was different back then

but now I have changed. 

There's something about friday nights

when you're young with big dreams

the distortion from reality

I clung to what you told me.

How happy and innocent

I lived open-minded

yet now I'm so different

everyday I'm reminded. 

There's something about winter time

that brings me back to you

and no amount of passing time

can erase you from my view.

The cold air stings me with sweet pain

and the lights they burn inside me

now every year will be the same

this season will remind me.
