When it Set In

When it Set in…

It wasn't a certain moment that I can pinpoint

It wasn't something that clicked one day

It was the moments of your hand in mine

When all my worries and fears were defeated

It was the blue ocean that was your eyes

That calmed me like the beach at sunset

It was the genuine transparency that you shared,

That allowed me to be completely upfront

It was the love that I felt from the innocent contact

That reassured me that I was right where I needed to be

It was the way that your voice seemed to be the solution

To every last one of my problems

It was all of these things that drew me to you

It felt like magnets that were impossible to pull apart

But where did you go?

Months have passed and it’s all starting to fade

The memories disappear in the ghost town that is my mind

I don't remember what it felt like to hold your hand

I don't remember the shade of blue I saw in your eyes

I don't remember the clarity of the connection we shared

I don't remember what it felt like when you kissed my hand

I don't remember what it sounded like when you said I was your world

When I realized this; that's when it set in,

I have to lose you more than once to really get over you
