Why Did That Night Have To End

Memories cling to my fragile figure.
Dropping to the ground,
Splattering around me like rain.

All that's left is your silhouette.
A mere figment of my imagination.

But if I close my eyes and pretend hard enough,
It feels like you're here again.
That you're mine again.

Your body pressed against mine.
Hands lingering on my skin,
Gliding down to my hips.
Swaying back and fourth slowly to the beat of our hearts.

My head finding its way to your chest.
Feeling your chest rise then fall.
Listening to your heart beat steadily.

I open my eyes no longer to your face.
Only to the empty night sky.

The stars are only a reflection of your eyes,
Your bright, empty eyes.

My heart drops along with my tears.
Each falls with me away from the past.

The memories are far too bitter sweet.
Too fresh in my mind.

I can still smell your scent,
It fills the air surrounding me in a mist of you.

I can still see you smiling down on me,
That look on your face haunts me today.

I can still feel you holding me so close,
Our hearts almost touching.

I never wanted that night to end,
I wished the sun would never rise.

I wanted that last song to last forever.
Just stay in your arms that night,
Stay in your arms as long as I was breathing.

But it all came to an end,
Everything ends.

Leaving me longing for your touch,
Your cold but oh so soft touch.

I only see you in my dreams.
I mean my nightmares...

You're the only thought on my mind,
The only one in my heart.

I'm longing for you,
Everything about you.

But all I have now is my memory,
The broken pieces you left in me.
