It was so long ago,
when you left me,
with tears in my eyes
I had to say goodbye
Never knowing then,
what I know now,
of how you’d haunt me
with an unannounced,
yet welcome rendezvous
in the astral plane,
for a brief moment in time,
before the alarm bell rings
waking me from a dream
to leave you behind,
like you left me,
all those years ago.
Yearning for sleep to return
I imagine gluing my eyes closed.
Knowing that even a brief glimpse,
is better than the shadows
that have lived in my heart
in the eternity since we parted
I’d never imagined then,
that in the future,
I’d dream of going to sleep
for that brief moment in time
when we were together again.
Sharing a laugh and a hug,
lingering memories that never fade
like the feelings trapped inside
Reminding me that once,
long ago, we were entwined
before you had to go,
leaving me to wonder,
if in another place in time
we are together.
Walking hand in hand,
in a parallel land,
just like this one
laughter etches
lines of our future
on our faces.
instead of tears
from the past
when we say goodbye
to those who touch our soul.
Memories float like ghosts
trapped in an ethereal prison
that no-one but me can see
Hauntingly beautiful,
It was so long ago you left me…
