i'm leaning on this broken fence..

i can't remember what it was like. but i haven't even seen you in over 6 weeks, and i still remember that 'high' i felt in your presence. when the rush ended, i would feel lost, iike a hangover in a place i don't even remember being.

when i closed my eyes and then opened them again
you were gone
out of my life
forever
do you think i wouldn't care?
do you think i wouldn't notice?

the human ability to remember is both our greatest blessing and our greatest curse. i am blessed for i will remember all that i learned from you and some moments we shared. i am cursed because i will continue to be

haunted
by the loss
of you
