ghosts in the pavement

it's one hundred and six degrees

a song comes across the speakers and

reminds me of a girl i used to know

and for a moment

i remember that feeling

faded and folded and put away

i ask you to

be patient with me

i'm getting back into the game

it seems silly to call it that

but in the end that 

is what to seems to be

it's not that your voice doesn't ignite my heart

your image makes me sink inside it

how is it that i can explain

my head is so full with finishing this life

and starting a new one

sometimes i run without moving

but baby

i would never run from you

the heat has brought up ghosts from the pavement

and they all look familiar

they don't live in the moment like you do

you live in the downpour of something new

and i take the drops one at a time

no need for an umbrella

i'll soak you in slow

it's one hundred and six degrees

and for a moment

faded and folded and put away

these lines have struck me all my life. Oh how I remember those tear jerking songs and my longing to be with some one that was emotionally unavailable.

Nice write!!! love it
