Since you've been gone

We made eye contact, he quickly glanced towards the girl by his side, guiltily. He whispered something in her ear, she looked at me, pity in her eyes, and motioned for him to go. I don't want her pity. I want him.

i tried to ignore him, them. I quickly glanced the other way and tried to find a customer who needed help, there were none. I knew he was coming towards me, I could smell the familiar scent of his cologne, the one I used to spray on his old t-shirts and wear home. The ones I snuggled with still, reaching for the memories of when we were happy together.

"Hey" he said in a quiet voice, judging my reaction. I looked at him, into his eyes, eyes that I used to stare into, eyes that were so brown they were almost black. "Hi" I said back. Not wanting to say more, I wasn't sure I could, not without tears. We looked at each other for what seemed like hours, but was only a minute, maybe less. "Well it was nice seeing you" I said and tried to walk away. He grabbed my arm, his rough hands grazing my palm, making my heart beat faster. " I am sorry" he whispered, then let me go. I turned the other way to hide my tears. I waited until i was sure he was gone then ran to the bathroom. I cried. 

Where I lay alone

With one thought in mind

Memories

Broken with a missing piece

You should be right next to me

Holding, kissing, loving

Whisper in my ears

Your words of love

Now is just an echo

Deep down in my mind

My heart is shaking

Scared and ready to surrender

Sweet emotion

One sensation

I long for

Come back

Quiet behind me

Put your hand in mine

Save me.
