THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE…WITH YOU

As I walk down the hallway

I can still hear you laugh

I can smell your perfume

I remember how you loved to dance in your shorts

Dancing and singing in an awkward voice

I can still remember how you loved to tiptoe and kiss me on my cheeks

It is all too real

I push the door leading to our living room

It creaks and opens awakening more memories

Memories and longings

I remember how we used to cuddle on the sofa

We would cuddle for hours

Talking and talking

Renewing our vows

Making plans

Laughing at jokes

Those were the best days of my life

The love I felt for you was real

You were the best thing that ever happened to me

I looked forward to a future with you

You made me feel so complete

Thoughts of us together hunts me every night

Questions torture my heart

Memories cover my entire being

I can't think straight anymore

I am going crazy thinking about you

I wonder what I did wrong

Where I went wrong

Why you left me for another

I can't comprehend it all

It is killing me

I was so foolishly in love that I didn’t see it

I was blinded by my own love for you

I couldn’t see the truth

You weren’t in love with me anymore

I no longer made you happy

I couldn’t give you kids

I bored you

You felt pity for me

You no longer loved me like you used to

The tears in my eyes feel so hot

I can no longer keep this house

It is time to sell it

I pray it wouldn’t bring the new owner so much sorrow

I pray that this house would bring him joy

That this house would always make the new owner smile

Cos it leaves me with no reason to smile

It's been four years now

And it is time to move on

I deserved to be happy

And I am ready to bury the past for good
