Who You Were

I can't keep lying to myself, I can't keep waking up at night and knowing that I just dreamed of you. I can't be looking for you; eventhough, I know your not there. I can't be telling myself that your still here. Everyday there's something that reminds me of you. A place, a song, your words, your name. You haunt my dreams, my thoughts and my memories. I don't understand why time hasn't healed my broken dreams, my broken being, my broken heart. I don't understand why another person hasn't help fade your memory away. You occupy my dreams and my heart. They say time heals everything, but I say it's not true because your still here. When people mention you, I act like I don't know who you were. But I know who you were, you were the person that woke up next to me. The person I would have endless nights of different converstaions. The person who woke me up with 'I love you's'. The person who was my companion, my friend, my lover. The only person I gave more than what a woman can give a man. I loved you so much, that it hurts to know that I still do. And it hurts to know that I always will. It doesn't matter if I never feel love again. But at least I know that one day I was happy and that I knew what love meant and how beautiful it felt.
