I hold on to these memories of you <br />even though you're happier with her. <br />I toss and turn at night <br />as you invade my dreams. <br />You hardly ever speak my name. <br />Was I really so easy to forget? <br />Or do I still meander across your mind <br />only to remind you of our fateful end? <br />Why do you still hold my imagination <br />when you barely even had my heart? <br />Why do I still care for you <br />when to you I don't exist? <br />How can you look directly at me <br />and see nothing but thin air? <br />You made me smile <br />You made me laugh <br />I was happiest with you. <br />But now you have her. <br />I'm sure you make her smile <br />I'm certain you make her laugh <br />She's happiest with you, <br />and you with her. <br />Don't let her slip through your fingers, <br />as I let you slip through mine. <br />I tried to hold on a little too late. <br />And now here I am, <br />remembering the way things were <br />knowing they never will be again.<br /><br />Aimee Rozen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-were-right-there-2/
