4/10

By liquid_emotion

I want to remember you
Without getting lost in the past
Daydreaming of things that cannot be
A love I won’t outlast

And I have moved on
But not yet gotten so far ahead
That I can’t see you there behind me
Or hear words you said

Seeing you sporadically
Throughout the years since
And so little has changed in my love
A softened presence

I miss my best friend
A lover that held me in tenderness
And the youth that I associate you with
The years of innocence

I can no longer give
The passion and adoration
That I first had when love was new
A heightened sensation

Am I still holding on
Forever true to a memory
Continuing to resurface time and again
So faithful internally

Or am I afraid
To loose myself over again
Deep inside of someone else’s soul
Hesitating from within

I know it is both
And I am still finding it hard
Within this forever lingering warmth
And the heart I guard

    You can tell that you are really looking deep inside yourself and asking difficult questions. It is a hard place to remain objective. But it sounds like you are. And turning your thoughts into beautiful words at the same time.
