Monterey Madam Poem by Matt Mondschein

The morning after
You woke up and rolled on
I find myself still dreaming
My heart still holding on

I see that times indeed have changed
Like pages turning in a book
If we never get back to where we were
You'll always be that chance
I wish I took

Before you say goodbye
Look again at your heart
just to see a fading tear

Does it still hurt, will it regret

As hours pass to days
And months to years

Before you close the door
For the last time
Look back and remember
The love I had for you
Though, thousands of miles away
Does your heart still see me?
