I Want You

Today, I cleaned my room

First time in forever

And went through my stuff

Found my old photographs

Both you and me together

We smiled and laughed a lot

Your sweatshirt was still here

I lifted it up in my hands

Rubbed my thumb against the cloth

Trying to remember the feeling

And then clutched it against my chest

Trying to recall the scent of you

It brings tears to my eyes

A soft laugh escaped my lips

As I thought about you

Your gentle smile, your soft voice

And your warm touch when you hold me

Looking back to our time we had shared

I never missed you more than ever

You promised me forever so long ago

Sometimes I wished you still kept it now

As much as I love you, I want you here

If you ever come back, don’t leave

I want you to stay.

And when you do…

Forever, like you promised.
