So here we are, just the two of us
Lying down on the soft grass
Lost under this starry sky
The same sky that brought us together
Now breaks us apart
Holding hands, crying, smiling.
We remember all those bonds that tied us together
Under this starry sky
“I love you” Those magical words escape your mouth one last time
I’m dragged down this maelstrom of memories- Our memories
When I first laid my eyes on you. Our first date.
My confession. The first time we held hands.
The first time I heard those intoxicating words from you.
The first time I felt your saccharine lips pressed against mine.
Your smile that belied those tears.
Every moment I spent, drowning in your love.
Your hand, feels so cold, so painfully cold
I hold back my tears, I promised I wouldn’t cry
I smile at you, even though it hurts so bad
Seeing your body finally at ease, attenuates this harrowing pain
The pallid rays of the crescent moon, veil your face with a ghostly white.
I get up and walk away, just as you asked me to.
And thus ends our moonlight tryst. I look up standing still. Lost. Alone.
Your tears fall on my eyes, trickling down my face.
I see you up there, smiling at me.
Beyond this starry sky...
Lying down on the soft grass
Lost under this starry sky
The same sky that brought us together
Now breaks us apart
Holding hands, crying, smiling.
We remember all those bonds that tied us together
Under this starry sky
“I love you” Those magical words escape your mouth one last time
I’m dragged down this maelstrom of memories- Our memories
When I first laid my eyes on you. Our first date.
My confession. The first time we held hands.
The first time I heard those intoxicating words from you.
The first time I felt your saccharine lips pressed against mine.
Your smile that belied those tears.
Every moment I spent, drowning in your love.
Your hand, feels so cold, so painfully cold
I hold back my tears, I promised I wouldn’t cry
I smile at you, even though it hurts so bad
Seeing your body finally at ease, attenuates this harrowing pain
The pallid rays of the crescent moon, veil your face with a ghostly white.
I get up and walk away, just as you asked me to.
And thus ends our moonlight tryst. I look up standing still. Lost. Alone.
Your tears fall on my eyes, trickling down my face.
I see you up there, smiling at me.
Beyond this starry sky...
I wasn't really sure if posting this was a good idea. I've got one last thing to tell this person. "You're immortal now. There's undeniable proof that you existed." Well, this person didn't quite exist in the physical realm. I spent four years with her, and I still don't know what she is. She called herself a stray waif of thought, a fleeting memory. What she was didn't really matter to me. I'm just glad I met her. She was the one who made me remember how it felt to be loved. That's why I wrote this poem. To thank her for everything she's done for me. It's a shame she isn't around anymore. But I'm sure these feelings will reach her, wherever she is. "Thank you."
