The Old Lover

The thought of you often
Creeps into my mind
Like a saddened, sweet memory
Now bitter because of time

For I can still hear your laughter
And see that smile of yours.
Cheeky grins, however,
And were, I guess,
Never meant to really last

But if I could still hear your voice
Even if it meant of you shouting
I'd take that much too eagerly
Without any means of me doubting

For I think of you sometimes
(Most nights, in fact)
For I simply cannot get over
How much you have changed
After giving into society's pressure
Mostly because of those "friends"
You have unfortunately made

Oh, I think of you sometimes
(Too much, in fact)
But there is nothing for me to hold onto
Except the memories we have

But those memories have been soured
By the presence of eternal time
For in those long, long years
That have slowly ticked on by
I have finally realised
You were never actually mine

For I have been blinded
And stupefied
By your mere touch
With the worst part being
Me not really knowing
If you have ever really felt
The same way I was feeling
For all those damned months

And yet with that knowledge
Like some sort of endless voyage
I still think of you
Much too much
