Over Us Poem by Brandon Shutter

I close my eyes, just to see,
Your beautiful face, smiling back at me.
I take your hand, it fits so well,
Like a glove, like a shell.

In my heart I know that pretending,
Is just going to bring me pain.
There is no more us, no more holding hands,
No more walks on the beach, with toes in the sand.

No more true smiles, no more long talks,
No more seductive moonlit dinners,
No more sultry candlelight brunch.
No more heated nights of passion,
No more luxurious nights of bliss,
And no more passionate good night kiss.

I remind myself of these things,
Hoping that I’ll find some relief,
But deep inside I know that,
I still have a ways to go.

There is nothing I wouldn’t do,
To see once you again,
Hold you in my arms once more,
And give your arms a spin.

I want to dance in the rain with you,
I want you to pour out your soul,
I want to swim against the current with you,
Keeping each other afloat.

I want to have a good conversation,
For multiple hours on end,
Sit there and stare at each other,
And talk like we’re old friends.

We both admit we had it good
We both know the feelings were there.
But for now it’s separation, I know
That much I’ve come to understand.

My friends ask me how I’m doing,
I want to lie and tell them,
Tell them that I’m fine,
But the pain is so evident, it’s
Clear you’re still on my mind.

But the truth is far from that,
And it’s obvious that they know,
They’ve heard me call you wonderful,
And they’ve seen my heart grow.

I’m forced to tell the truth,
As I’m not very good with lies
Baby I’m not over you,
And you’re not here by my side.

I think of you day and night,
I think of you in my dreams,
I think of the mornings,
And I think of you in the eve.

I’m not over you baby
I’m not -
Over Us.
