never.

never again
no more kisses, no more touches.
no longer will you hold me in your arms.
i've been left out in the cold,
without my morning jacket.
the last time i wore your shirt,
despite the many washes it endured,
i could still faintly smell you.
never again will that scent fill my nose,
though i loved it so.
never again will i fall asleep to
the rhythm of your breathing,
though i loved that too.
never again will i listen to you
speak so passionately about what you love,
and i loved that too.
never again will i see you rip open a shirt,
displaying your tattoo so proudly.
that, i loved too.
never again will i run my fingers through your hair,
or steal your glasses and put them on,
see you roll your eyes at being called "tay tay,"
your beautiful blue eyes.
all i have now are these memories
and i have to say,
i don't love them nearly as much.
