The other day I was sitting on the bus, minding my own business.
It had been a long day and I was excited to get home and relax.
And all I could think of was you.
I mean, it wasn't entirely my fault.
The human brain tends to link the sense of smell with important experiences,
and someone must have bathed in the cologne you used to wear.
And it really made me think about a lot of things.
After all the weeks, months, years
I still remember you.
I still remember the shade of your eyes,
The touch of your lips,
The way you laugh,
How you would pull me closer when we slept side by side.
You had found me at a time in my life where I needed you most.
We were young, and I was lonely.
You needed someone to love you, I needed someone to teach me how to love myself.
We were both people who had been broken before.
I'm still not sure if I meant as much to you as you did to me,
But I am so thankful for the time we did spend together.
As much as others hated you, and were against our relationship,
you were truly what I needed.
To me, you were gentle.
To me, you were the shelter my soul needed to rest and grow stronger.
And even now, I crave platonic attention from you.
You are a breath of fresh air, a familiar face in a time of so much unknown.
You were my first true love,
The first person I truly opened up to.
My darling, you will always hold a special part of my heart.
I wish you would let me into your life,
because I so want you in mine.
Be careful with me,
For I am fragile,
Treat me as you would a new born babe,
Love me,
Talk to me,
and let me do the same for you.
