Tenderly I’ve stroked your
ears
rubbed your eyeskissed your lips
held your hand
we’ve listened to each others heart
wiped each others tears
now distance has replaced
the presence of your lovely
face
no longer do you hear me
nor see me when I look at youyou’ve forgotten the moist
warmth of our kisses
and their intended consequences
your fingers no longer
intertwine in mine
to pull us toward each other
our two hearts still beat
though no longer in rhythm and
syncour tears, yes our tears
are shed but for different causes
different reasons no longer do
you wipe them as you walk away
we’ve lost each other
in the haze the maze of life
I have
the sweet memory of your voice
the sparkle of your eyes
the warm memory
of your soft skin pressed
against mine
your tender lips
but not least
the memory that once in time
our two hearts
beat as one
oh, the transition...the distance is an understatement but there is nothing to state the full distance, is there? is this autobiographical? is this your pain or your imagination or your memory? either way you have written it tenderly.
ReplyDeletewe can not live for happily ever afters, can we? to have the moment of being with the beloved, that is everything)))

This is heartbreaking, nene. I can feel the love that still lingers.
ReplyDeletehappens often, i think.
ReplyDeleteOh, heartbreaking, my friend. And I hope it is not true. Such love and tenderness in these words. I cant imagine anyone reading them and staying distant!
