APARTMENT 202

This is my favorite of all the poems I've written. It was after a bad break-up. It took me six months to write this.


I wish I could go there
Travel back in time
Back to that little place
That still lives in my mind
I'd walk up the stairs
Just like I used to do
Then I would knock on the door
Of Apartment 202

He'd open the door
I'd give him a grin
He would smile back at me
Then he'd let me in
He'd teach me how to dance
He'd show me me how to move
I learned everything I didn't know
In Apartment 202

I won't let it go
I keep it in my mind
The way it looked and smelled
Is with me all the time
He would kiss my lips
And lead me to his room
And there I would make love to him
In Apartment 202

Now he's gone from my life
But he's still here with me
Everything I could absorb
Is in my memory
It ended so quickly
And the next thing I knew
I wasn't welcome anymore
At Apartment 202

The time I had has disappeared
I hold it deep inside
But once I fell in love
Once upon a time
It seemed like a dream to me
Like a dream come true
A dream that's buried deep inside
Of Apartment 202
