Today

I looked back on you today
and I drew similarities from my skin
and matched them to your own
there’s not a centimetre of either of us we don’t know
we were once so different
but now we're so alike
I never noticed it before
although it was obvious to others
and now in the mirror I don’t just see my reflection
I see yours

I missed you today,
as I pretended to feel your hand in mine
as im sure I have done one hundred times before now
and will continue to one hundred times more
these thoughts always strike me
when the room is dark and im all alone
with only that CD you bought me on repeat

I thought of you today
I remembered the last time we spoke
and the last time we kissed
that was a lifetime ago
since then my life is far from what it use to be
as is yours im sure
sometimes I wonder if you'll look different to me now.
Like a familiar stranger that I must have known in another life
...but surely not in this one...
but in the one you left behind
the one were you left me in

I wanted you home today
missing you hurts so much more than yesterday
and as I sit on the edge of my bed
I swear I can smell your hair
and my heart skips a beat
I swear I can feel your breath on the back of my neck
and my heart skips a beat
I want to catch you before you’re gone just like before
you’re not there though
how long have I been sitting here dreaming up your sent and breath
its not been minutes and its not been hours
I’ve not moved for days
and my hearts stopped beating.
