The One That Got Away
Yesterday,
A warm touch of light, fragrant air
Perfume of nostalgia.
One moment, no distance,
Time travel.
A random thought,
Soaking my mind with memories
In no time,
Just in time.
A glimpse of your presence,
Caused by a fragrance, a sound, a burst of laughter,
Just like it would be you.
Your name in the wind
Your name in the
Mornings,
As bright as the day about to arrive and I am
Rising with the sun.
Chirping birds,
Escaping darker days and
Longing for endlessness.
A fleeting scent of flowers, lemons and the ocean,
Your skin.
A shadow of your laughter, maybe
Or maybe not.
The bright glow in your eyes and on your face,
Whenever you were fascinated,
Just as I was from you,
And myself,
Because you taught me that
And so much more.
Today,
I feel as if the world you live in
Was different from mine.
Maybe somewhere,
In a hidden corner of your mind,
I still exist
And will always be
A memory.
Tomorrow?
No one can tell.
And that’s why they say “life is beautiful”.
