You and Me

I’d call you today

If there was a way

For it to be like it once was

Like everyday was Valentine’s day, just because

I still remember that first day

When I heard you say

That I was yours and you were mine, forever

That this would one day happen to us, never

Never would I have imagined that this was the way it was going to be

That one day, it would not be just you and me.

We were once so close

Now you are a memory

A mere ghost

I sit here, staring at this concrete wall

I see colors, red and blue, from deep within

But you’ll never see what I feel, even though it shows to the world, like glass skin

I fight the memories, the ghosts the demons

All the pasts, presents, and should have beens

If you are a memory

Why won’t you let go of me

Why won’t you move on, like you said

But you stand outside, looking in, instead

Mocking me, just like the rest of the world

I cannot retaliate, only suffer in silence

Wishing that one day you will see

But you never will.
