I Used to be Your Romeo

I used to be your Romeo

Weak at the touch of your hand

Those awkward, loose kisses

That seem to slip away

You used to love me

Even when my eyes wondered from yours

You held on to each song

Each word I’d whisper

Now, where do you go

When the light swallows

Your face?

Is it the same place as me?

With your quiet feet

You fall away

I watch you

With a new lover by my side

Their hands don’t feel like yours

And I remember, I used to be your Romeo.
