Like a Lover

He held me like a lover
  at last, just this one final time.
Alone in a peacful place from yesterday

Time stopped and memories replayed
Scenes from long ago danced across his eyes
Eyes that were misted and slightly glazed...

As he stares down at me from his towering height, he starts to say something
Something that I am sure he had wished he could have always said.
Something sweet and innocent, something to make the sting and hurt lift away..
But before he could utter those longed for words the hazzy feeling of
love renewed is swept from my mind and the murky mire of reality seeps in.

As I slowly open my eyes to the searing noon light
I am reminded of my dream from the night
When he held me like a lover...
Just one last time
A simple, single goodbye that was so short and sweet it makes me cry
To know how life is short and time is never, ever on my side

Author notes

First poem that I've written in awhile..

    I thought it was sweet. At least you got to make amends even if it didn't work out. Thank you for sharing your poetry and I wish you the best of luck.

    nice narrative!

    Cool narrative- it is a great dream-love-story and I like the ending, that brings the reader back to reality with a thud. I like ending poems in that way. =)

    Also, it is nice to read poems that disregard structure and rhyme and just do their own thing.
