Restless

by Kait   Mar 21, 2007


The pain grows worse as each moment slowly passes by.
I think I will die without your gentle touch.
Physical pain should be worse.
But, love is the worst pain of all.

I drive myself crazy.
I can't eat and I can't even sleep.
Everything reminds me of you.
Anything from a song to one simple word.

I wish I could erase my thoughts of you.
And, I pray to God that the memories wouldn't hurt.
But, nothing changes.
It's like your haunting me.

Everywhere I go, I think I see your face in the crowd.
And, when I glance back, you're gone.
It wasn't even you, I know.
It's just my mind playing stupid tricks on myself.

I'm walking across the road.
You look right at me as you walk by.
I thought it was just another person who looked like you.
But, this time, it was you.

I turn back around and run towards you
When I am half way to you, you turn around and start to run towards me.
I'm physically and emotionally drained.
I collapse into your arms and you carry me away from the street.

We walk to a nearby park and sit on a bench close to the river.
I rest my head on your shoulder and you wrap your arms around me.
You whisper in my ear that everything will be okay and that you won't leave me again.
I start to cry and you hold on tighter.

The days of pain were worth it.
I got you back.
My heart found its rest.

You stand up and reach out your hand.
I grab on and we walk to your car.
I get in and we drive off into the sunset.
We get to your house only minutes later.

We go inside and lay down on your bed.
I am so tired.
The sleepless nights all paid off.
Just for this moment when I fell asleep in your arms.
I can finally rest easy now.
