I Lost You Poem

You have no idea how I feel about you

I walk the streets and smell you in the air

You live here. You were born here.

The trees here smelled you before I did.

And they carry your scent.

I cannot breathe 1440 minutes.

Without thinking of you. Wanting you.

But I am sharing you. I’ve never had you to myself.

Oh but I’ve wanted to. So badly in fact.

Older than an artifact we are.

But you don’t even know me when.

We aren’t in the same car.

I loved from near. I loved by far.

I loved by hotel. I loved by home.

I loved by car. I loved by park.

I loved in the street. I loved in the bar.

Do you not remember?

Have things changed? Who cut the trees down.

I can’t smell you now. I lost you.

So I cleansed myself. Angrily, I hid as I do.

In how I felt. How I feel. How I will always feel.

And I took it out on you.

Because I want you.

We are adults now.

And this is not your fault.

We got caught.

We got lost.

In blurred lines.

In a decade of time.
