Getting Over You
There used to be an 'us', not a you and a me.
I knew the touch of your hand in mine,
the curve of your smile,
the sound of your laughter.
We were one, a couple,
… a pairing.
The phone would ring and instinctively,
feeling your presence before I ever heard your voice,
happiness…,
longing for your touch,
knowing you would come soon.
All these things, and tomorrow too!
Forever one, a couple,
… a pairing.
Childlike dreams and wishing on a fallen star,
shared by both of us.
Yesterday and eternity together,
never to part.
Secrets shared, fantasies explored,
love's flames raging into a roaring fire.
Forever one, a couple,
…a pairing.
When did your heart leave, I can't recall?
The separation of souls
knitted together for a fleeting moment.
The intrusion of space, the distance of thoughts,
our minds… worlds apart.
We were no longer one, a couple,
…a pairing.
Now, separated, divided, two different people,
love no longer felt by you.
Strangers in an awkward embrace,
alone,
Just me, and not 'us'.
Time standing still
while I am still getting over you.
