Suffocated

I travelled to Princeton last night
as if I was going to see you
as if you would be waiting patiently for me as you always would before
but you weren't there

in my mind, i knew you were in ohio
with moj
possibly with another love
with no thoughts of me hoping to cross your mind

i drove the drive alone
with no sounds
but the sad songs on the radio
and my tone deaf voice singing along

in my heart, if i didn't go back there
i could deny that you were gone
that you had moved on
that i wasn't a part of your life anymore, and that you were no longer a part of mine

but the reality is
that that trip suffocated me
i couldn't breathe
because the memories came flooding back so fast, that my head was spinning

i just wanted to bottle up all the emotions
and send them to you
express mail
so that you could endure half of what i did, watching you drive away, deciding to move on with your life, when i was still in the same stationary position

the one where i was hopelessly in love with you
devoted to your well being
and desperately hoping for a fairy tale reunion
but even our friendship has decayed like a fragile flower awaiting spring's sunshine

the trip there brought memories of anticipation
the first time i met you
and all the times we had made that journey
both separate and together

we were so happy
what kept us from deciding to try
who decided we should separate
i know you'd be much happier with me

don't you remember that you were the happiest you'd ever been with me
that you saw forever in my eyes
and wanted to wake up next to me for eternity
st. louis, the mc donalds, even gas stations serve as benchmarks to our relationship's memories

our existence together is etched in the sands of time
there is no erasing our chemistry
or that for once your stubborness was subdued by the fact that you couldn't let someone go
remember how you tried to get rid of me the first time
only to fail miserably

distance has only made it easier for you
but in time you will live to regret
i'm suffocated by memories of you
so bad, that i think one day i will just cease to breathe, cease to exist unless you are back in my life
