*~*~~~*~*
I am always wondering
I sit by this window everyday
The dark skies are passing me by
So are the bright days
The others come by all the time
But every time they come
It never fills that void like you do
All I can do is sit by this window
And listen to the sweet, melancholy sounds of that upright piano
Do you remember?
We always sat right next to each other when we played
Your flamboyant pounding of the keys,
Against my soft brushes of the keys...
We harmonize
But...
I haven't seen you
Ever since you ran off
With her...
The tears keep falling
The seasons keep changing
The time keeps passing us by
Since then, our melody has stopped
My once bright, nocturne skies are dull when you aren't here
My beautiful days become a sinister grey from your lack of presence
But this could happen on any day,
Every time I see a glance of brown glistening of hair,
I keep thinking that it's you who is walking down these Parisian streets
But then I remember that you ran off with her
After I see that the person wasn't you
I turn and run
Even though I don't want it to keep flowing
The tears that emerge will not stop
I debate whether to go back home,
Where memories of us are traced everywhere,
Or
Wander these streets
Where we walked, laughed, and smiled
I look towards the sky
And I see that clouds are gathering
It makes me gather my own thoughts
But I start to deviate from that
Then...
That makes me wonder,
When you are walking somewhere down streets
Glancing up at the sky
Or even sharing a smile
Do you still think of me?
