EVAPORATE

Dew is water in the form of droplets that appears on thin, exposed objects in the morning or evening. As the exposed surface cools by radiating its heat, atmospheric moisture condenses at a rate greater than that at which it can evaporate, resulting in the formation of water droplets.....

As dew sits on the narrow petals so you engulf my mind-
sitting perfectly still only moving on when YOU want to
Never realizing just how much you mean to me and the way you make me feel
staying with me day and night only making it harder to deal with
The presence of you so distant yet all encompassing

…and its just the memory of you I keep holding onto
Tryna convince myself that its you I belong to
Over and over again I hang my head with worries
My eyes fill with tears, my heart aches like a cut trying to heal
And my stomach is inside out –FREQUENTLY
Fearful that the “one day” you’ll love me as hard as much as I love you is in another life
Or it has passed and in that fleeting moment I looked down and missed the opportunity to grab it...
Did I miss it? Because sometimes I feel that if I stretch my arms far enough
–if I put just enough effort and lean my body in with the stretch I may be able to catch it even touch it with the tips of my fingers- did I miss it?
Like lingering cologne with each breath I’m reminded
that maybe you’ve moved on and new love has you blind
Forgetting what once was so sweet and so true
the days when life felt like it revolved around you
And in your eyes was everything I needed to see in your arms is where I wanted to be
I remember the laughter, the bickering, the fights
Laying together talking in the bed at night
Exhaling and laying on your chest
Knowing that forever we had left…..
