My Reality

i feel you slipping away from me.
the farther you go
the harder it is to breathe.
familiar lines grow blurry now.
your face your eyes your smile;
a concrete image erased in time.
priceless things losing significance,
clinging to things that always meant little.
portraying false impressions,
a momentary distraction.
but these feelings are never truly forgotten.
vague memories of what once was
and trying to get it all back
is like grasping for air.
impossible but seemingly just out of reach,
stuck in the middle of a surreal fight
between the anticipation of moving forward
and a longing to go back.
there is so much ahead
but what i wouldn't give to see your smiling features
just one last time.
i feel you slipping away
my reality.
