taste of love, taste of tears
too many years
left without you
if only I had known
you would not be here
pack rat I would have been
overflowing each drawer
cramming every space
clogging even the air
with only your scent
this room we shared

cellophane wrap my new best friend
sealed forever
with all I could save
such a ’save this’ list I would have
of  moments shared

kissed by you~@~saved
touched by you~@~saved
making love to you~@~saved
caressed by you~@~saved
your breath on my skin~@~saved
your whispers in my ear~@~saved
your scent on your pillow~@~saved
‘I love you’s’ each morning~@~saved
morning kisses goodbye~@~saved

taste of love, taste of tears
piling on more years
if only I had known
I would have found a way
to capture those moments
that I miss about you
enough to last my years

your smiles~@~saved
your laughter~@~saved
those sparkling blue eyes~@~saved
your arms holding me~@~saved
snuggling close watching a movie~@~saved
your fingers running through my hair~@~saved
home cooked dinners together~@~saved

I feel like I wasted it all
for your memories alone
to feel this empty space
leaves me with

nothing to taste…
nothing to feel…
nothing to smell…
nothing to see…
of you

all that I have left
when I think of you
salty tears
on my face

because I missed you so today, my love Johnny
Tell me dear, does the pain ever go away
I want to smile and laugh when I think of you
and not taste so many tears.
