Something in the Air

I saw you today The January air was chill When the sun was hiding And the clouds were low and gray  The grass was brown And the hard clay orange as always You were with a girl And you were both smiling I’ve seen you with plenty of girls before But something was different It wasn’t the girl It wasn’t the way your arm was over her shoulders It wasn’t how her palm held yours contently It wasn’t how her small figure fit perfectly along yours But I could feel something in me changing Hurting I could feel the love being sucked right out of me My heart dwindling And something in the back of my mind wilting Dreams of us dying Maybe it was too quiet Maybe it was the lack of greenery Maybe it was something in the air But something was different Something made me ache Something made me lose hope in us As if there could have ever been an us I just know I saw you today And you were breathtaking as always - M.K.J
