Lost Connection

Connection:

I’m so ready to fall in love.

I’d hold any boys hand.

I’d walk into your eyes unsheltered.

I’m so caught up in you.

 

I’m in such a hopeless summer.

I’m swimming in your words.

I cling to them all day long.

Are you thinking of me like I think about you?

 

You left town, left me to whither away,

Gave me a phone number, said ‘drop a line

I’ll be up in a bind, spending the summer

with my girlfriend. You’re my best friend.'

He hung up the connection to continue another.

 

I’m so ready to see your face.

I’ve thought of forgetting you.

I’m lost in the sky.

It’s about time.

 

I’m in such a hopeless summer.

I’m swimming in your words.

I cling to them all day long.

Are you thinking of me like I think about you?

 

I’m such a hopeless lover.

I’m slipping through your hands,

Hanging to the edge by a sliver.

Please remember not to forget about me.

 

You left town, left me to whither away,

Gave me a phone number, said ‘drop a line

I’ll be up in a bind, spending the summer

with my girlfriend. You’re my best friend.

He hung up the connection to continue another.

 

You left my hands, left me for her arms.

Gave me a smile, said ‘drop by some time

I’ll be up in a bind, loving my lover

She’s my girlfriend. Stay my best friend.'

He hung up our connection to continue another.

 

WAS PAUSED.

This is a good write,i can relate..This speaks of Love that has faded and you are still hanging on..This is very emotional..With time it will get better.I often ask the same questions "will he remember or am i the only one who still thinks of him... You did a nice job with this poem :) Love is so confusing at times,but it is good that we have had such an amazing feeling! :) We learn to love again!!
