Eyes I thought I had forgotten

Dusk descends on the world
Shadows collect in the corners
The night is coming on
The streets are filled with mourners.

Nobody told me about this
How me it would dishearten
Things unbidden come to mind.
Eyes I thought I had forgotten.

How can he still make me cry
When he is so very far away?
Why can't I just let him go?
Why are my feelings on display?

He made his choice
And whatever his reason
Against my heart
He meant no treason.

Yet every time I think
That I am over him
The feelings all come flooding back
Refusing to become dim.

Each day is touch and go.
Some happy and some not.
I try to forget him in every way.
But find that I cannot.

Ok, I've finally figured out one of life's great secrets. You know why you're still having so much trouble with this relationship? You haven't been honest in it. I'm not saying you've lied or anything, but seriously, I just had an epiphany based on recent personal experience. You're not going to start healing from this until you call him and seriously, honestly tell him how you feel about what happened with you two, and how you're feeling now. Don't go into it expecting things between you to change, because obviously distance and circustances aren't working in either of ya'lls favor. But you're continually going to be plagued with doubt and hurting until you talk to him and for heaven's sake TELL THE TRUTH. Even if his truth isn't what you want to hear, either, it will help you heal. I swear on my own life, it will.
And I know this totally isn't something I should be writing in a comment, but I just had a revelation and I needed to share it NOW. You can yell at me later, promise. But I'm being honest with you.

Because if you feel that strongly about somebody and you hurt that bad about it, and keep it inside, sooner or later it will turn into hate, or at least resentment. I know. So don't, girl. Anyway, I'll come off my epiphanizing soap box for a minute. lol
