I will always think of you on November 16th

That Scorpio energy and my intrigue

I associate so many things with you

Ray Bans hiding eyes surprisingly blue

7/11 ATM machines and Mountain Dew

A parked car on an empty culdesac

Opening up a part of me

that was waiting to be free

Being satisfied by another

and giving myself completely

All consuming, anxiety-inducing

If only I could be as cool as you

Love letters and promise rings

A song written about me

Desperation and mistrust

Belonging and devotion

A desire to love everything you loved

because it was part of you

I still love so many things I first loved

because I loved you

Serenades and finally feeling seen

Sweet Child of Mine and emotional insecurity

Cyclical thoughts of an obsessive, fearful mind

Mutual appreciation of the moon and nature’s wonders

Talk about a future that would not be

You loved that I needed you

I just wanted you to need me too

I will never love another the way I loved you

If only you could clearly see

what you had when you had me

All ending with apple butter and bitterness

big and small things

taken for granted for too long

I poured into you until I was empty

I gave you all I had to give

Over a decade in the past

and you are still woven into me

I have never found adequate room for another

in the fabric of my being

I always knew it was you for me

No one else will ever be
