Never Forget

I was picking invisible lent off my shirt While you awkwardly shuffled your feet in the dirt With every step we took, we distanced ourselves more Silence played softly in the background until we finally reached your door I much rather prefer a casual goodbye, but I know that is just not your way Then I feel your arms squeezing me tight as you whisper in my ear and ask me to stay I want to, but the air isn't inviting enough And if I don't leave now, I'll miss the bus So I take a step back and take one last good look at you I smile and feel that old feeling again, a feeling I wish I never knew Because if I didn't know it, I wouldn't be crying as I watch pavement pass Every mile more down the road, was my heart slipping through an hourglass Squeezed tight through a space so small, and worn down by time Oh darling, how this feeling makes me wish you were never mine So take these words and imbed them in your head Just like those damned memories of us, I know, I'll never forget

Very moving poem, Autumn. I am glad you liked "Paul's Gone". I read it at my father's funeral and published it in a magazine called "Soul Fountain" - which you might want to look at on the "net". Good that you are writing and I hope you continue and do well in your studies as well. Love Matthew Anish
