I'll walk the streets alone tonight and try to fill the hole in my chest. Its been a month since you've been gone, and when I finally got around to leaving I realized that everything I own reminds me of you. All my shirts smell like you and those mix cds I made you are still all over my car. I'd like to say I hope you'll never change, but there are still some aspects of you I'd like to fix. I don't want anyone to see me here alone, but this is all I have. And I hate to say it but I hope you'll be waiting by the door when I get home. I guess it's no surprise that I can't forget you, and I hate to use the word addicted, but I'm the exact definition. I'll write everything on a piece of paper intended to be my farewell note and end up crossing everything out until all I'm left with is "I need you." I miss your warm smile and the way you'd always ask me to stay a little longer. I remember the nights of popcorn making and movie watching that eventually turned into mornings wrapped up in your arms. No matter what it takes, I just want you to say you'll stay. We both knew that summer was ending but we never bothered to plan out formal exits. So breathe in deep and say goodbye. I can feel you slip away, you're almost gone. I ask you to stay just a little longer, but you say you can't. August is over.
