As I Sit in My Car

poem by: AL Boogie
Written on Dec 02, 2016

As I sit in my car, watching other couples walk by.
I break out a smile but then I begin to wonder why.
A year and plus months I was in this same exact place,
Depressed, writing poems, about how I was filled with disgrace.
I don’t feel the same way, you can say I’ve moved on.
My heart doesn’t ache and the pain has withdrawn.
Where are you now, should I bother to ask?
When I think about you, it’s like I’m being haunted by the past.

But I can’t help but to wonder if you still smile everyday,
If your days are full of laughter and if you still laugh the same way.
Sometimes people would tell me about things that you do, 
But I had to tell them to stop and remind them we’re through.
Because I don’t want to know and I don’t really care.
You were once at the top, now you don’t belong in my world.

So I hope that you’re happy with all the decision you’ve made.
Throw all the shit that I gave you, burn all the things that I gave.
Even though I often wish and even sometimes just dream, 
Of you still by my side, still a part of our team.
These memories will fade and I hope they fade quick.
The light of a love story but now its time to turn off the switch.
