you remind me of you

you remind me of you
with that laugh and killer smile
you remind me of you

the security you offered
was a relief to me
i was naive and vulnerable
so it was a treat

everything was so simple back then, weren't they my friend?
we talked and laughed like there's no tomorrow
it was only you and me and our own little world
and the growing affection we never knew was there

you soothed my worries and i shared your pain
no feeling of shame was felt
knowing pinkie swears and oaths
our feelings were kept safe
like having an umbrella when it rains

wish we could have it all over again
those familiar jokes, familiar feeling, familiar conversations
oh what a joy that was!
wanting and craving a bundle of emotions from a person
and he expects the same

i'm still hopeful you know
that one day we'll have our time once more
though i know it's impossible
i'd like to think that God has something in store :)




ok it doesn't rhyme very well because i purposely did so and it is kinda lame but i wanted to do a poem that had a title "You Remind Me of You" just because. i had read a book a long time ago of the same title. it was about a girl who was anorexic and her boyfriend committed suicide. it was a book of poems. each poem tells us a bit of the story. how she coped with everything that happened. it's a story of love, grief, letting go, moving on, and survival. sad but inspiring. oh and it's a true story too!
