Its like I can picture a future with you
When I know I shouldn’t...
It’s like she and I are living in this world...
When we met you...and him
We wanted to be part of it...a part of that world...that you and he are a part of
I wanted to be part of you
She, a part of him
I knew that after Wednesday night...
Things would never be the same again
I was right
I can’t feel this way
I shouldn’t....it’s not the right time
We are not in the right place
How can we make this work...when you are half a world away?
How can we make this work...when I have someone else I love?
How can we make this work?
How can I go back to things...the way they were before?
Before I kissed your lips...?
Before I fell asleep on your shoulder...snuggled up next to you?
I can’t...
I can’t pretend this never happened
I can’t pretend I never loved you...

Author's Note: This poem is not only dedicated to C.G., but also to my best friend in the whole world who is the only person that could understand and relate to how I am feeling right now...Kristin...I love you!
