Sometimes I forget

By: Amy Elizabeth Swonger

Sometimes I forget we aren't together anymore.
And sometimes I still look for you in the halls.
Sometimes I imagine myself getting lost in your eyes
Wishing for just one more kiss.

Once in awhile I start to dial your number
But stop myself before I dial the last digit.
Once in a while I pretend you're still here;
Always holding my hand through everything.

Every so often I start to run to you.
But then remember I'm living without you.
And every so often I replay all our time together.
And hope someday I will get to hold you again.

Sometimes I forget you are really gone
And just before I mutter "I love you"
I remember I'm supposed to be getting over you.
So I just don't say anything at all.

Once in awhile I try to look at others
The way I saw you...
But I still love you and I just can't do it.
Because even now... no one can come close.

And I just don't want to let go of you
Because you were everything that I've ever wanted.
And I just can't forget what we had
Because it was more than I had ever hoped for.

Still... sometimes I forget we are no longer 'one'.
But as soon as I do it just kills me.
But I just wanted to let you know
That I'm always missing you...

And I just wanted to tell you,
That I'm still so in love with you.
