A Kiss

i stand and stare into your beautiful eyes and reminisce on our wonderful moments together.

i want to tell you how i want to be loved and how to love me but i cant do that because its all up to you.

the silence kills me as i watch you slowly fade away.

yet im still stuck with only one foot over the threshold.

its like half of me is stuck on something that is no longer there.

the feeling of an irrepressible love with that same love unrequited is so numbing.

i love u so much ive become insane.

i miss everything that may have never even been.

i have come to reality, no more padded rooms for me.

i now understand that this love i yearn for is futile.

together we will always stand but together we will never be.

i know something is missing because a kiss says everything.
