“You are the one I want,

still, after all of these years

of being alone or being

in the bed of someone

whose touch will never

come close to the way

your hands felt against

my skin. I’ve been

wondering lately if this

is how it’s always going

to be. If I will ever find

someone who can do

the proper justice of loving

me in the way that you

once did. But it’s a

question that I already

know the answer to

without having to go back

to the problem. It’s a

simple yes or no but I can’t

find the courage inside

of myself to just admit

to knowing. So for now

I will keep searching

for a feeling that comes

remotely close to how

I felt when I was with you.

Even if that means

settling for something

that may never compare.”
