I found that jacket today.
The one I always wore.
I wore it again,
Just so I could feel
The way I felt
When I was with you.
It smells of you
And it's all I have left.
I hugged it,
Pulled it close and squeezed it tight.
Knowing you'd hugged it too
Made me feel like I was hugging you,
And it made me realise
This was the closest I was ever going to get to you again.
I cried,
But I didn't want my tears to destroy it.
I wanted it to remind me of those Summer days,
And not the way i'm feeling right now.
