Green Eyed Love

*****

I walk away determined not to cry, arms wrapped tight

Not really feeling it anyway.

Not until I get home...

*****

Slip out of my clothes that smell of you

And fall to my sheets with your taste upon my lips

The realization that you will be gone, hits

*****

And the breath is sucked from me as I cry.

You woke me in the morning, you came

One last time before hitting the road

*****

Realizing to late that we had touched upon love

Then let go of what we just couldn’t keep

*****

I saved some pictures, gave you a few too.

Were the purest shade of green, when shining with tears and love.

*****

You eventually sent me a poem, letting me go.

And I wrote to tell you about my new boyfriend, you hated that.

What did we know?

*****

We were summer lovers doomed to part

Allotted a handful of sunsets,
