the girl i used to love

Each relationship I encounter I bring a woman into my life and they become one with me. They interact in my lifestyle, accompany my social scene, they are apart of my world- and I too them. We are inseparable. We eat meals together; make love, share stories and dreams and promises towards the future. We create lives in which we want to lead- thinking down the road. We plan travels. We share secrets and wishes. We experience life hand in hand, side by side, and strive to make all our dreams come reality. We whisper late at night and kiss each others foreheads. We wrap each other with compliments and warm hugs. We drive into each others eyes and see ourselves as part of them. We rendezvous on lunch dates and waffle breakfasts. We stroll the streets eyeing art and human interaction. We stop at cafes and bars for rest and small talk about the day. We dance in caves and cruise dark alleys wearing the sweat of the night. We leave indents in bed from sleep and play. We share books and talk psychology. We visit parks and go halves on ice cream. We laze the day away on couch. We burn incents into the night. We throw pillows and playful words back and forth. We get lost in communication. We stumble for understanding.  We choke on tedious and menial banter. We misjudge actions. We shoot eyes and bite tongues. We hang on phones and tread on still water. We plead and defend our actions. We shut doors on houses and taxis. We hail lonely cabs. We let tears run down our cheeks and stain wooden floors.  We walk through restaurants and feel embarrassed. We snap and bite and retort at accusations. We listen to excuses with congested ears.  We mistake characters. We shrink with guilt. We disguise apologies. We hide true feelings to avoid destruction. We play the offensive. We set barriers. We hang curtains between our cultures and narrow minds. We hide behind our ideals and expectations. We are individuals. We fall apart. We break.
