I remember the warmth of your hand in mine, the comfort I found in your welcoming eyes, and the hypnotizing melody when you said I love you. That connection that existed between us, my lifeline, severed. <br><br>Was it just a joke? Did you really mean it every time you said I love you? Were you wincing each time we kissed? You said you wanted to be here, with me, forever.<br><br> I wish upon a star, I wish upon another day, another time, to be with you again, just for a moment or two.<br><br>Do you know where I am now? Here, at our special place, the place we kissed and laughed under the sun. I sit here now, cold, helpless, and alone. Is this what it feels like to die?http://www.voicesnet.org/displayonepoem.aspx?poemid=16129711/2/2009I lie beneath inky black expanses, the cold from it encasing myself. It seals me in here, dark, cold, and alone. Separated from all else. The worst of ways to die. I try to endure this, as I continue to listen to the wind blowing by, whispering stories of what once was. http://www.voicesnet.org/displayonepoem.aspx?poemid=16129011/2/2009
