YOU

YOU

I see you in pictures as beautiful as ever,

It takes me back to when you and I were together,

All the “what ifs” cross my mind,

Bringing me no clarity to find,

But there was a time when I was yours,

And you were mine of course,

We spend those autumn evenings wrapped in one another’s arms,

Always promising never to our love come no harm,

Some days I can still smell the perfume against your skin,

Or feel your memory from my heart within,

Songs will take me back to a simple kiss,

Oh there are so many good times I could reminisce.

But you are happy now and that makes me smile,

Though at the time the heartbreak didn’t seem worthwhile,

Yet here you are in love and it’s true,

And I’m the best thing to never happen for you.
