Everyone else

Has left the lastnine months behind...

Why can't I?



Soon it will be

The day you kissed me for the first time

One year later

And everyone else

Will live it as a brand new day...

Why can't I?



Every month from November to July

Is contaminated

With your face

Your scent

And sometimes even your touch

Everyone else has moved on to new caresses...

Why can't I?



Everyone else

Has accepted

Their failures

Their losses

Their never-meant-to-be's

Loosened their grip

And let go

For the wind to carry them away...

Why can't I?



Everyoen else

Has forgotten

That you were ever, never mine...

Why can't I?
