There are days when I woke up to my boyfriend
But I only thought of you
If you were okay?
And if you met anyone new?
I dreamed that I would run into you
In the city
That we would have a second chance
A last hurrah
A final dance
To be caught in a clumsy bliss
Step on toes
Clasp sturdy hands
And reminisce
On the love that clung tighter
Then most people’s wedding bands
Even till this day
I’ve never understood why
I think of you so much
Waiting, wanting and praying
To be close
But scared to touch
You are the fantasy
I dare not utter to another soul
Ashamed of why I love you so much
But trying desperately not to let you go
Being friends is too hard
Run the risk of losing control
Kiss you
Hold you
Rock you in my giving arms
Once more
We have grown distant
Changed
Created new ways to live
But I still see
The rustling hope in your eyes
Like the bright orange leaves of autumn
Crunching under foot
We were rooted
Before we dug into the deep, dark soil
But your love fills the empty spaces
Of my long days like wind on the prairie
Blow my way once again
Love always, Esha ❤
