in this reminder of you

today i just needed to hear you breathing,
even if i'm not...
i need to know that what i'm feeling is real and that my
heart hasn't skipped town from my chest.

i don't want to face the crowds with their
pity stares and sad eyes....
i just want to face you...
to look into each others sad eyes....

i am stuck in this reminder of you
without a place to go
and without the strength to go there.

and i wish that i could hate you...
to make it easier on us all
but i'm sorry that you're sorry,
love doesn't work that way.
