the air has grown much too warm
days where a thought
an idea
a daydream
is not nearly enough
to feel you somewhere nearby
the park bench had grown uncomfortable
from waiting for you to stroll by
waiting to meet you
on a day that doesn't exist in this world
a day where nothing else mattered but you and i
days when the rain falls to drown your sorrow
and wind blows to kill your tears

there's nothing that needs to be said
these last few days have been unbareable
another miserable week
another lonely weekend
because i had missed the feeling
of knowing you were still there
whenever i felt like mustering up the courage
to wise up and spend my life with you
pretending you were all i needed
and nothing else mattered
days where it snowed to cover your shame
and the frigid air would leave me frozen
at the thought of walking alongside her forever

the days have grown much too long
years where a picture
a memory
a daydream
wasn't nearly enough
to know that you were still somehow there
this easy chair has become much too uncomfortable
while i waited for your return
on a day where there was everything else
and nothing else mattered
but the days.....
these days.....
these days were growing much too warm
and the nights becoming hard to bare
but the frigid air...that air
so cold and welcoming
had left me frozen once more
at the thought of walking alongside her forever
once more....
once more

This part was amazing, to me! I don't know what to say... I like your writing style, the things you incorporate into your poems. This poem, to me, was very sad but beautiful, beautiful because “you” realize your loss and are willing to admit it… or, that’s what I got from the poem.

Thanks for sharing, I look forward to seeing more of your poems!
