behind her eyes as she falls asleep

The one who’s always on her mind.

She wants to tell him so much

But the words she cannot find.

He used to hug her everyday

But now they seize to come.

She wishes she could go back

How could she be so dumb?

She needs to erase her feelings

Get them out of the way.

But every time she sees him

They haunt her the rest of the day.

He reminds her of someone

Someone she can’t recall.

He was always there for her

Would he catch me if I fall?

For now she’ll just erase those thoughts

She knows she’s not ready.

She wishes he’d talk to her

But what’s meant to be will always be.
