Lost Love, Lovely Eyes

Dear Lost Love,

                There are reminders of you everywhere. The caramel splotch on my lamb’s wool slippers… In every song, every lyric sung that drifts by my ears… as if you were the one whispering it there. One song stood out to me today. Made me realize this is how you feel. Here it is:

So long lovely eyes

Somehow we have found ourselves tonight with

No more happy sighs

Hold your breath & hope for something better

We got so far away

From the fire that we started

How did we get so fucking cold

So fucking cold

So now ease your mind

All good things must have an ending, how we

Live, love, laughed & cried

But matters they seem like just a fantasy

We got so far away

From the fire that we started

How did we get so fucking cold

So fucking cold

How did we get so

How did we get so fucking

How did we get so fucking cold

So fucking cold

                That was “So Long Lovely Eyes” by the Toadies… Is that what you said to yourself when you let me go? You always said how green my eyes were, how they glowed and made you smile. You always said how much you loved me and you would never let me down. Never leave me… But you did... because I drove you away... I turned cold. I’m sorry.

Love Always and Forever.

Anna
