Of You Poem by Allysyn Bryant

softly, slowly
touching, feeling
pleasurful delight
painful tears, fears

lying with him by my side
his head on my chest
he sleeps tonight
i can't even close my eyes
wearing his shirt i slip away
missing you everyday
with no way of calling you
i no longer know what to do

awake now, he watches me
with worriesome eyes
i smile, dying inside
sitting with him
my hand in his
i tell him it's alright

he lays back down
i get dressed
find that box on my shelf
read your letters
sweet words, memories
little by little, i heal again
i'd give anything to hear your voice again
close my eyes i see us, two
walking along the beach i think of you

thinking of you, it still be true
i'm still in love with you, oh no
needing to let go, needing you
i hear the song 'Thinking of You'
i remember you, knowing what i should do
lid on the box i walk away...
And leave it for another day
