Everywhere I go,
Everything I see,
Always brings me back,
Back to you and me.
I'm sorry that it's over,
I wish it had never began.
But what I still don't know,
Is how to get back to who I am.

I can't accept the loss of self,
I feel without you there.
I want to make you go away,
But still I want you near.
Why can't I make my heart decide,
And let my mind be the guide?
Just when will I get back to me,
The me before there was a 'we'?

I see your face, I smell your scent,
I try to block, I try to vent.
So what's the reason I am still,
Forced to face your memory against my will?
I loved you, I hate you, but really...
I don't.
I'll remember you, I'll forget you, but really...
I won't.

So even though we broke apart,
Even though you broke my heart,
I'll keep my head up,
I'll show myself,
I can survive the hardest pain,
And me, I can remain.
Crying tears of fire or ice,
Won't make the bad things seem more nice.

Without you to reach out and touch,
I'll admit I'm not quite through.
But one day I'll stop leaning on this crutch,
And I'll stop looking for you.

First Love

But one day I'll stop leaning on this crutch,
And I'll stop looking for you.

First of all, this is a very good poem. I like it a lot.
2nd of all it's odd that you wrote this on the 4th of June because my mom married her current (3rd) husband on the 4th and so many things that deal with love just seem to happen on that day... randomly and not due to the anniversary.

But above all BRAVO and ENCORE!

Lots of love and peace be with you,

Chelsea
