love, hopefully

hoping someday
i'll find a love that flows through me like this
because when I close my eyes
it's you I miss

 

as I search for another one
so irreplaceable
you seem

 

if you only knew
how much
these words I mean

 

still feeling
the touch of your skin
as I open my eyes
I start to begin
searching my soul
for the relief within
that I've never had
since I lost you

 

and now that you choose
to move on
I don't think I'll ever
feel any better

 

but still when I see you
there's something in the way you smile
that lets me know
you haven't forgotten me

 

it lets me hope
you've been thinking about me for a while
and you'll open your eyes
and finally see
I've been here waiting all along

Fresh pain from an open wound, you pour the words out onto the page.
