One Day

One day, the sound of your name

Won’t gnaw at my chest, taking the breath out of my lungs,

Or cause me to face another night of tear stained pillows.

One day, I’ll be able to inhale the scent of sweet summer grass

Without the memory of the taste of our first kiss, your eyes locked on mine,

The world around us disappearing into a blurry haze of sunshine.

One day, I’ll forget the feeling of your arms around me,

Of being so close to you, yet longing to be closer still,

When the days didn’t hold enough hours being held by you.

One day, I won’t remember that you broke my heart,

That I was both too much for you, and still not enough.

One moment engulfed by your love, and the next pushed outside of it.

One day, the memories won’t haunt me,

And the ghost of us will disappear.

I just wish it wasn’t so hard for me to forget.

Or that it wasn’t so easy for you.
