Painful Impossibilities

I don't have many enemies, but time is my ultimate one.
Ever since you left, it's been creeping by, laughing all the while.
Rubbing in my face the fact that I'm hurting.
That I'm alone; cold without your warmth.
Without your smile. Your laughter. Your beauty.
I miss it all, and it hurts so bad.
Even more so, cause no one understands.
No one knows what this emptiness feels like, so they turn away.
Leaving me alone in this emptiness. This darkness.
They say I shouldn't think about it, forget for a while.
Part of me would like to, anything to ease the pain.
But how can I? They don't realize what they're asking of me.
What I try to ask of myself.
How can I forget you? My only precious love?
How can I forget the way you'd hold me, when no one else was there to dry my tears?
How can I forget the way you'd smile, and how you'd tell me I was beautiful, even when I refused to believe it?
How can I forget your smell, your beautiful scent that would ease me to sleep?
How can I forget you kiss, so strong and passionate, that would make my heart beat wildly?
How can I forget your touch, so gentle, that showed how much you cared?
But most of all, how can I forget your love? Your kindness? Your beautiful words?
How do I forget, even for a moment?
I can't.
My love, I can't.
I won't.
And I pray, my love, you never forget...
