TRACES......20/30

Pieces of you are like residue in my life
strands of hair found on floor years later
my favorite shirt I haven't worn since you were here
ummm, the smell of sweet everything in my nasal
Trying to understand why the good times
was the bad times

"but we had to let it go
three strikes leaves a broken love TKO"

Scrolling through photographs 
of a smile I don't see anymore 
wish I could see it one more time
even if it's not for me
I'll still be happy with you
Certain mornings 
remind me of early wake ups
kissing on foreheads before leaving for work
not knowing that last night
was the last night of early mornings
for us
Reminders through your "babe chant"
and holds with moans
and touches that turned you on
even when you were deep in your sleep
love making 
yes, love making with intense ****ing
nothing ever matter
things we always okay
no arguments, just good loving
Dreaming......

Texting
phone calls to work
photo's of what we wore
not to mention subliminal messages on social networks
How I miss this
How I miss all that
How I'm  glad that
splitting up gave me a better understanding
got me more prepared
help me establish myself
a better me, for the better in you
or the next beau
but it should be you
celebrating this change
but I celebrate in a empty room
with TRACES of you
and those scents by you
the mirror image in plain view
soft cool sheets and pillows
like I'm laying with you
but no you....
just TRACES.......
