I still miss you.

[acs]

I didn't know you long
but you are burned in my brain.
Our conversation gave me a feeling
that is difficult to explain.

Your words felt like home
and your smile like my bed,
so comfortable and familiar, 
a warm place to rest my head.

Of all the people that I have met
that I could have fallen for,
you left me completely speechless
lying broken on the floor.

The situation is hopeless,
I cannot give you what you deserve.
So I have to let you go now
and continue to remain reserved. 

I stifle my feelings and eat my words, 
hoping to move on,
and forget all that has happened 
in the dark before the dawn.

But it is difficult to do this,
so difficult indeed,
because my heart is what I wear
like a cuff upon my sleeve.

So although I try to forget
all the feelings that I felt,
my heart continues to yearn 
knowing my head was already dealt.

I understand my luck is limited
and although I am aware,
my persistance is my shelter
for losing you I cannot bare.
