I sit in the chair that you sat in
delighted that you were once there
I gaze at the sundown patterns
directing my eyes everywhere
The arms of the chair, they surround me.
I imagine the spark in your eyes.
I sit in the chair that you sat in.
I let myself drift in my mind.

The touch of my lips,
first on your cheek,
and then a sunburst
surprisingly sweet
Familiar and old
as ancient's sun greet.
I sit in the chair that you sat in.
And pray for the next time we meet.

Tell me I don't really feel it.
Tell me that it's all a lie.
And still I will sit there beguiling
myself with a memory's eye.

The touch of your lips,
the last on my cheek--
my only regret was
watching you leave.
Fingernails trailing
themselves on my knee--
I sit in the chair that you sat in,
pretending that you're still with me.

The feelings flow from this one, you take care!

Wonderful!!! Everything about this is perfect..except for the fact that it's so melancholy.
