And so
I'm here
now

Heart in my hands

Time seems to disappear
The thought of you
brings me to another time
another place

You were different
once

Before the lying
the running away
and the drugs
and the alcohol

Before you slipped away
into a person I couldn't recognize

I miss your smile
the way the sun
would reflect off your hair
glimmering
...
beautiful.

How you would talk to me
like I was the only person in the world
as if I knew you completely
no lies.

I did.
I know no more.
