ghosts of you

the shadows of you haunt me, all the rooms that we once laughed in

the corners we confided in, the places we lost ourselves in.

all of them are the same, but they cant be.

memories of you there color it in

while nowadays its all so blandly grey.

how do the ghosts of you continue to taunt me?

when i remember the talks we had and the jokes we shared.

when i cant get your beloved smile out of my head

and the emptiness my hand feels without yours in it is all i can think about.

when i walk into the room and the smell of it takes me back

to when we couldnt get enough of each other, it was only you and me.

all of my life is so colorless, memories of you making it harder to bear.

and the memories are just ghosts, little slips of life long ago.

all i want is you now, here, with me, telling me you love me.

its just a memory. one i have to hold on to until the next time we meet.

oh the ghosts of you haunt me at night, when all i can see in my mind is you.

when i stay up wishing you were curled up next to me,

when i walk around and wish you were here to hear my thoughts.

my mindless endless thoughts that you somehow enjoy hearing.

when i am sitting in my room and out of nowhere i remember how cute your laugh is

and how much it makes me smile to hear it.

but.

all you have to do is walk through the door

put your arms around me

and all the ghosts are scared away.

xx, seiji
