Fading Love

I’m starting to forget why
I crave your body by my side. 
The memories fade away and 
I can’t remember why I stay. 
I used to think that we 
would make it through the unforeseen
And never be broken apart 
but now I see that it’s my heart that’s breaking.

If I knew this is how it’d end
I would have just stayed your friend.
I just want to feel your touch
although I’m not sure it’ll be enough
to make me think things are good, 
and working out as they should.
I picture us smiling, nothing wrong, 
but I can’t keep pretending.

I wish I could just let go
or let you know
I need your love to show. 
Cause I need some sort of sign 
to know you still want to be mine.
I’m worried your love is gone, you’ve moved on
and you no longer need me.

Welcome to PoetrySoup Maia. I know this is a late welcome but, I have had some very pressing matters going on. I hope to be back and at full speed in the next week or so. Until then please keep writing and sharing your poetry. Love, Carol

I'm sorry Maia. It's sad to be in a place where you're wondering all the time. I wish you would be bold and ask so you would know what to do, dear. Best of luck and God bless. Love, Annalise.
