Thoughts

(5/18/06)
Leave me be
Give me some peace
I can't stop thinking
About how things used to be
About how they could be today
It ended so suddenly
at first I couldn't believe it was over
Surely it cannot end this way
I said
But end it did
You were gone
Leaving nothing of your behind
It should have been easy to move on
There were no pictures left
To remind me of you
No forgotten belongings
That used to be yours
But you fill my thoughts
At least once a day
You cross my mind
And the memory of
How things used to be
The dreams of how they could be today
But you're not here
You've gone
You've moved on
No thoughts of me to bother you
No thoughts of me to slow you down
And just when I think
I've moved on
You turn up in my dreams
Even in sleep I am haunted by you
I cannot stop thinking
About how things used to be
About how they could be today
Give me some peace
Leave me be
