the scent of your lilac perfume
on my bedsheets
and the vestige of your footprints
in my room
are enough to
drive me
delirious.

the twinkle of your laughter
across the street
and your whispers of
past and broken promises
are all i hear.

it's okay if you won't keep
your promises anymore
but please let me see
a glimpse of you
before you sail to another world-
another place and time.

wherever you are,
just don't forget me.

please.
