familiar stranger

the scent of you

the warm tingly feeling it makes me feel

memories of past conjured

of you and me lying in the dark

intimately sharing our secrets

laughing

cuddling 

enjoying company

the first leaf falls

it's winter

you're not here

things have changed 

we're no longer together

we're strangers, familiar strangers

oh! how fast things have changed

you and i were inseparable 

so loving, so kind

now look at us

distant, obscured, awkward

me wanting to touch you

you wanting to get away

i hope you don't see the pain in my eyes

are there any in yours?

my heart yearns, calling you

you're so far away

impossible it is to hear my voice

all i cling to

are memories of past

and things that remind me

of what we were

maybe someday we'll be together

but i don't hope

i won't hope

because like you

maybe my feelings will change

and all that's left are memories

memories that remind me of my feelings towards you

and i'll be o.k 

i'll be alright

just like you.

p.s: the many, many things that remind me of you.
