Memories of you..

Trust is not something can comes easily. It comes and goes in waves. The waves are getting bigger these days. I'm not sure if its you or if its me thats changed. Maybe a combination of the two. But I don't seem to put a stop to it these days.

I taste a hint of familiarity. My people they cry, my people are calling out for me and I'm just out of reach these days. My fingers skim the surface and I want to touch those familiar faces the ones with the wrinkles. They come out more when you are laughing. But these days you laugh less and less. Your voice sounds different to what it was before. Its like its still you but somehow its not. You look the same. Age has been good to you but you are not the same and neither am I. And that's okay. Things change, people change and I'm happy with that.
Lets go they said, let go and see what happens. The dust is wiped away and all that is left is memories of you. They fade as time goes by.

Everything fades as things go by but the cracks in my coffee table never seem to disappear. No matter how hard I clean it or try to hide them. They are still there, they are almost smiling at me. Happy to exist amongst the rest of my furniture. I look towards the empty space where you used to be and I'm free.
