Reminders Of A Lost Love

It’s almost as if you are still here

Because my clothes still smell like you

And your favourite mug of mine still has your lipstick stains on it.

Every time I close my eyes, I see your face in my mind;

Your soft caramel coloured eyes, gazing lovingly into mine

When I turned the radio on in the car this morning, our song was playing

And I imagined you in the passenger seat, singing along with me

I have lost count of how many of your bobby pins I have stood on

Or how many of your hairs I have found in my bed

I read a love poem the other day

But it didn’t compare to the ones you wrote about me

I can’t even go to a coffee shop to get my morning fix because it was our favourite place to go on a date

And the street that I have to drive past to get to work every day is named after you

Tonight the stars are twinkling bright in the dark blue sky, and I am reminded of that night that we lay in my back garden and made constellations out of them...

But most of all, I am reminded of the day that I left you

And I know that I did you wrong but I want you to know that I’m sorry

And I know that you won’t ever take me back now but I want you to know that I still love you.
