Holding On

[shinyboi]

I, I still remember
how you looked that afternoon.
There was only you.
- I Still Remember by Bloc Party

I think about it all the time.
It was only three months ago,
But sometimes it feels like a lifetime.
And sometimes it feels like just yesterday.

I can remember so many little things,
The scent of your hair,
The feeling of your hands in mine,
How long it took me to work up the nerve to kiss you.

I remember how it felt, when you fell asleep in my arms,
And I cried, I couldn't help myself.
For the first time, I felt complete.
And I knew in only days, I'd be a fragment once again.

I remember the sound of your heartbeat,
How such a simple sound can be some comforting, I'll never know.
If I could lay my head again upon your chest,
I might never get back up.

On nights like this, I realize
That a bed without you on the other side
Is empty and lonely and still,
Barely anything but a reminder of a memory.

Be well, my love
And wait for me
I'll be there soon, it won't be long
Until we can both rest in peace.
