It’s as if it were only yesterday again

Folder: 
My trashcan poetry

it’s as if it were only yesterday again
we were in love and making promises
we were sure we would always keep
not knowing life would get the best of us
and lead us down paths separately

I miss the hours we would spend talking,
being open and honest and free
I miss the hours I would spend lying
by your side tracing the lines upon your skin
I miss the way you held me close enough
to hear your heartbeat
I wish I could hear it again

we hid behind our feelings and kept
the truth locked away,
but there was volumes said in the things 
we didn’t say

I smile at all the ways we dared to love
how I yearn to hold you one last time, 
yet even with the rose colored glasses
broken promises restrain me, 
my mind torments me into a supposed 
better judgement.
yet no matter what saith the mind 
the heart wants what it wants

it’s as if it were only yesterday again
we were in love and making promises
we were sure we would always keep
not knowing life would get the best of us
