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.
