Green coat 1/20/07

by Sunny   Feb 6, 2007


Thursday night you gave me an extra long hug before i went to bed
When i woke up Friday morning the rain was coming down
And there you laid, sleeping peacefully
A part of me knew i wouldn't see you when i got home from work
I went to a friends house after school
But i had forgotten how much he reminds me of you
And it didn't make the tears stop

I fell asleep listening to blue October
waiting for the song you played a few nights before
I woke up early Saturday morning and stretched my arm out
But all i found was a fuzzy green coat
I pulled it close, you weren't inside

A white tank top with green letters lays right where you left it on my keyboard
My penguin shaker still wears a forgotten pair of sunglasses
And as i stepped outside to escape the emptiness you left
There on my patio table laid an empty black n mild box
The tears kept coming

I got in the shower and screamed at a friend too far away to hear me
I told him how shitty he was to bring us back together that day
I asked him what good came from it
As expected i got no response
Tears of shame came next, how could i possibly blame him?

Now I'm sitting here wearing this big green coat
Waiting for it to wrap its arms around me
And take away this feeling
But the tears still aren't showing signs of stopping

I cant erase the feeling of coming home to you everyday
I cant erase the thought that i was so happy for a whole week and a half
And now I've broken my new years resolution
I can never forget you
