Nothing but a mere vision
.
.
.
It simply cannot be explained;
I close my eyes
And there it is
Right in front of me
This clear vision of you and me
As you walk my way
Your reassuring stare
Your touch and hold,
warm and strong
Your demeanour,
grand, impeccable,
even when relaxed
Your lips on mine, and a spark is immediately lit inside of me
These are all of the things
I like about you
Yes, M., I like you.
I really like you.
Needless to say you stood out
As a diamond in the rough
In a sea of rotten fish
As I open my eyes,
Startled by reality,
I quickly realize,
That it was nothing
but a mere vision,
a fleeting moment
in which I felt true,
comfortable, enamoured, intrigued.
But for a reason I can’t accept, till now,
The feeling is not mutual.
The need to be close to me is not there
The interest is not strong enough
And, as a matter of fact,
it is perfectly okay this way.
Thoughts of you arise
In my everyday
And it is at that moment,
That I understand
I cannot go on this way.
For I know too well
This familiar route.
As I know for it to be
The best thing to do
To keep my heart guarded
For the long term,
I will now say to you:
This is Goodbye, M.
As I know good and well enough,
One sweet day,
someone will also see the gem that I am,
and the beginning of our story
will be written effortlessly.
