I mourn you everytime I lay down to go to sleep

The heat that you’d transfer through your shirtless skin

The softness of the hairs that live on your arm

The way your collarbone would show just a little too much

The way you’d laugh with nothing but your smile

The way your fingers felt wrapped around my waist

Like time didn’t have a hold on me

And the world stopped spinning just so we could sleep

You’re tattooed on my heart

You’re in every song that I listen to

There’s a character like you in every book

An actor in every movie

Every memory that floats into my brain

Your scent lingers in every place I visit

I teach others the exact way you taught me

The ghost of you is in everything I do

I don’t know how to escape you,

How to escape the thought of you
