Everything Today
Everything smells like you today
Like you did that night there were so many stars
it was if they’d come to church
And we were the object of their worship
The wind blew and sweetness of your skin
Captured my senses
Refused to let me go
I will never forget that smell
Everything looks like you today
Like you did when the orange light of the morning
Spilled across your face
Trying to compete with your beauty
Your eyes looked in mine
Captured my heart
Refused to let me go
I will never forget that look
Everything tastes like you today
Like you did when we shared a cup of coffee
To hide from the rain
It was our moment
You leaned over and I kissed you
Captured my soul
Refused to let it go
I will never forget that taste
Everything sounds like you today
Like you did when you told me you were leaving
The breaking of my heart
Drowning out your words
Your words were silent
I was captive
I refused to let you go
I will never forget that sound
Everything feels like you today
Like you did when you walked away from me
Pretending that I’m not here
Like it never really happened
We never talked again
Still I’m captive
I haven’t let go
I haven’t forgotten
