without you

The days aren't cold anymore. At night my blanket is all the warmth I need. No longer am I trapped inside the memory of you holding me.
(I long to hold you)

I can walk down the street and not see your face in the faces of others. A familiar scent of yours no longer sends shivers down my spine and when I see someone with the same hair style as yours I don't picture running my hands through your hair anymore.
(I miss you...still)

The image of your smile has been forgotton like an old song I used to love but can no longer remember.
(I will never forget)

Forget all the times I told you I loved you. I don't. So I sacrificed for you. So I slaved for you. So I wrote "poetry" for you. Doesn't mean I loved you. I didn't. I was lying.
(I love you...always)

I don't need you anymore. You are no longer the eighth day in my week. I don't need to hear your voice in the morning. I don't need to wake up next to you. I don't need to feel you resting your head on my shoulder. I don't miss holding you when I'm standing in line waiting for something. I can live without you.
(I can't live without you...I lied)
