Thoughts on a lonely night

As I step out of the shower,
I notice my tan peeling away- the dead skin flakes off
I feel myself wiping away last week-
Memories that Ill live with the rest of my  life
Care-free days, spent together free of work, school, any distractions
It was a miracle, and its over
Its come and gone in an instant
A flash of life, times when I couldnt stop my smile
Driving down woodlands, warm nights looking up as we drive
The wind in my hair, a rush of summer
Nothing but the moon and stars above us
Lying by the pool
the  smell of tanning oil fills the fresh warm air
So close to a future so wanted
A smile that I feel I will never find again
No where, never, gone now forever
A smile in myself, a smile that shined so bright, then died
Waking up, perfect mornings
Each day full of happiness and sun
Thought we fixed the problems
That this would be our cure, save us, make us understand
Caught up in paradise
Just a few thousand seconds away
Lost living in my memories, do you remember too?
That will hurt and always stay with  me
Lost in a world where I wanted to be forever
No one but me and you, I felt we were all that mattered
Nights wrapped in each others arms
Nights Ill never sleep again
These moments play over and over again in my head
My heart is torn, my body numb
I want to die.
Do you feel this, do you remember paradise?
If feels like  years ago
Its gone now, forever
And it was only last week
