Eradicate

I need to eradicate you from my life.......

I didn’t want to like you so much

But your hands on each side of my face and your lips kissing me on both corners of my mouth and you saying softly “Look at me. Slow down”

I melted inside

You winked at me

Your dimple showing on the right side of your face

Your laugh. I loved making you laugh

It seemed like you needed it

Like it was lacking in your life

But......

You weren’t mine

You could never be mine

How did I ever think that I was strong enough

A fleeting moment of hope that I could be the center of your attention

That. You. Want. ME

But the ME more than just sexual

I wanted you to love me

All of me

That you CHOOSE me

That I am yours

And you are mine

The occupancy sign tilted on my heart

The blood flowing

Cascading

Like a fountain full of coins with wishes on every one

I only wanted one coin

One wish.......

You
