Pearl.

Lately, I have been thinking of her.

I have been thinking of our relationship.

Thinking of the hold she had on me.

Thinking of the way she tastes.

I see her around sometimes, never on purpose.

At places like parties, bars, even on the streets.

I see her on my screen sometimes and that cuts a bit too deep.

It reminds me of what we used to have and the times her kiss was sweet.

Lately, I have been thinking of calling her,

just to see if she if she's free.

I know she'd be more than willing to see me,

and have me has her captee.

I crave her chill again,

the way she sends shivers down my spine.

I crave her high again,

and our mutual loss of time.

I know that things will never be the same for us,

after all those years went by.

I have a hard time forgetting the dark moments

that were just between her and I.

Lately, I have been donning rose tinted glasses,

as if to convince myself that we should meet again.

But I know that there is no good in that,

seeing as she is far too vain.
