Did you know?A Poem by A. J. KingsleySo many questions and regrets of words left unsaid. Did they know?
Sometimes I just stared at you because I couldn't believe you were real.
I wanted to tell you I loved you a hundred times a day but I didn't. I've looked into your eyes and wondered what they'd seen. I wanted to kiss all your hurts away, to hold you while you fell asleep. Sometimes I dreamed of us lying on the grass, staring at clouds. I wanted to take you on picnics, and let you stick flowers in my hair. I hate myself for losing you. I wanted to pick out paint colors with you, and argue about carpet. There were so many things I wanted to share with you. I thought up ice cream dates, and crafts we could do together. I wanted you to be my plus one at every wedding. I couldn't feel anything for the first week after we broke up. I wish I was strong enough. If I could find I way to get you back I'd do it in a heartbeat. I wonder if you felt it, that dead-weight emptiness inside your chest. I hope you didn't feel it, because I did and it was hell. © 2017 A. J. KingsleyAuthor's Note
