A Dent Of You

This poem is about: The memory of a relationship that could have gone differently, if you, in turn, had acted differently. Relationships are both beautiful and hard. As you get a little older, you can look back and realise if you had known more, believed more and even been more, life might have taken a different path.

There a dent of you on my pillow, A smell of you in my bed, A linger of you on my couch, A note of yours on the table, There’s a scarf you dropped in the hallway, A photograph you hung on the wall, A receipt you threw in my drawer, A magazine you dropped in the bin, There with the other things we threw away, All listed in that song we wrote but never did play, And now as the warmer nights arrive, I hear outside the laughter of new love that we might have kept alive, If only we knew the right words come winter, To help us grow and thrive.
