Away From You
The only time I think about you is when I am alone.
The reasons for these feelings are determined unknown.
Although deep down I know your name is written into me in stone.
I do try on that dainty ring you bought me from time to time,
It almost feels like a crime.
There are small pieces of you that will always remind me of you places all around my room.
Most would say I am still attached to you,
Like a child in the womb.
I always sit and wait for that chime,
The simplistic form of noise that when I hear unexpectedly sends waves of unconscious emotions through my entire mind.
I listen as my ears fill with white noise to block out the thoughts of you.
Who knew that my aspirations of you and I would so soon be fully through.
I look back at the stupid expections I wished upon us forever,
I know now that nothing will compare to the memories we have together.
Using those not so easy yes’s and no’s,
I will never regret the path I chose.
The only path I knew that would help to avoid your rough words to my ears we downsized,
Not to be disclosed.
Thinking that my heart would only beat for you started me at a low place,
But making sure I kept my space,
My happiness is growing at a linear pace.
