There's something about the way you look at me.
Something in the tone in your voice.
How your fingers brush the hair off my face.
The way you smile when you're with me.
In those few moments, I feel as though I'm worth it all.
As though I have finally done something right.
My world felt at peace whenever you held me.
You made me feel that way
from the moment you lent me your jacket
To the last conversation we had.
In solitary moments, my mind wanders.
As though I'm reliving those moments.
The flood of thoughts, sounds, and emotions;
overwhelms me to the point of no return.
My heart aches when I think about you.
With wonder and amusement, I wait for
my body to snap back to reality.
You chose not to remain with me,
but rather disappear from my reality.
Your touch lingers on the side of my face;
your body enveloping mine.
It is nothing but a fantasy now.
But I thank you for the dream.
I thank you for making me believe I was worth it.
That I am worth it.
