On Hold

I want to say that I miss you
But I don't...
You know, there are days that go by
I don't even think about you
Not a single thought
I used to spend hours daydreaming of you
and nights dreaming of you
I used to think about you whenever I would smile
Because you were the only one capable of putting a smile there
But now...I don't need you to smile..
I can't remember what you smell like anymore
I have to remind myself what type of lotion you used
It was never this hard to recall your scent
Its getting harder and harder for me to remember your smile
It was an image I would recall in my head during the day
Daydreaming of you
Anytime my dad would turn for the worse
I'd picture your smile
I'd picture you holding me in your arms
Smiling at me...
But now...
I can't even remember if you had dimples or not
And your laughter that used to sound so clear in my head
Sounds more like an echo in the distance
...Slowly fading away...
I want to remember the feel of your lips
The taste of your tongue
But instead my mind draws a blank
My arms aren't aching anymore for you
They used to want to hold you more than anything
But now...they're fine all by themselves
I want to cry for you
For me, for you...for what used to be us
But no tears make its way out of my eyes
I want to say that I loved you
But its getting harder as the days go by
I know its over
My mind is letting go of you
And so is my body
But my heart
will
not
let you go
