Old habits die hard
Loving you was a habit
that won’t die
Your body
Your flesh
Kissing your lips
Licking your smile
These are habits that won’t die
On the beach alone
With your smile
I held you close
My hands exploring you
as the waves moved fast crashing around us
A fountain of love arose from our union
And you whispered softly in my ear
“I love you”
as we lay motionless on your secret beach
It was our last day together as we were
but what are we now?
Where are we?
You have a piece of me in your heart
and I carry a piece of you in mine
but can you tell me one thing you remember about me?
Not the things I love to do
but the things I love
Can you tell me anything about my smile?
My secret thoughts?
I’m sure you can
We remember
We hide it away
Whenever our eyes meet the eyes
of a new lover
But you, you will always be my favorite habit
and they say old habits die hard
My bed is so cold without you…
