Holding on

Holding on to what we had
like a shadow that wont disappear.
Holding on to the words you spoke,
like I had nothing to fear.

Holding on to your promises,
like you'll one day prove everyone wrong.
Holding on to the memories,
like they were our favorite love song.

Holding on to every time you made me laugh,
like I have never experienced it before.
Holding on to every warm touch,
like it caressed my protected inner core.

Holding on to your kisses,
like it held on to my soul.
Holding on to your every embrace,
like each one made me whole.

Holding on to who I wish you still were,
like that part of you was ever real.
Wish I can have the old you back...
the one that cared and knew how to feel.
