a girl on a bench

dear Love,
i find you in my mind
in my morning, my night
my dreams, my strolls through the park
you’re everywhere i go
even when you’re standing
at someone else’s door.

dear Love,
you’ve torn out my heart
and left it
yet i still come back for more
you’ve shackled it to the floor
and kept it
and that’s okay
because i’m yours forevermore.

dear Love,
there’s no going back
to the start
our ‘new leaves’ have fallen
oh so far
winter is coming
it’ll be too cold out here
for a lonely heart
i am destined to freeze
i am falling apart.

dear Love,
remember me
as your heart and soul
remember me
as your love
that never grew old
remember me
when i’m not around
because maybe
i will mean more then
than i have now.
