Long term and short term
They are meant to stay but do not always
They heal wounds but sometimes create them
You can’t help but wonder
The thoughts and feelings of another person
Sometimes you don’t even know your own
These thoughts consume you until you can’t breathe
Everywhere you go there will always be something that reminds you of them
Seeing them again after a long time
Looking into their eyes, you see them more
More than they show the world
We’ve been here before
You get that funny feeling you can’t feel with someone else
Time goes on and those feelings never change
Your heart is reaching out but your mind tells you not to
You can only stand there and stare
