You held me for an instant
Made me feel your pain
Thinking one day you will
Find the courage to love again
You held me for an instant
And I saw the real you
The one whom not many
Shall ever see through
You held me for an instant
In hopes I could understand
How hard it is to be defeated
When you were always told “You can’t”
You held me for an instant
And I thought I saw you cry
But it was gone before
I even spoke good-bye
You held me for an instant
It seemed to last forever
But I turned and you were gone
Almost as if I dreamed us together

this was great! the flow and rhyming were perfect, never seemed forced, and i like how you described it simply but the idea was really more than that. and the repetetion worked very nicely good job, ^_^

Wow, Sonya...this is fantastic! I am in awe of these simplistic, yet amazing, words. You leave me enthralled with memories of a former beloved, which I keep locked tightly away in the depths of my soul, though I have damnedly tried to banish them.
However, real love for me is only in dreams, and only for an instant.
Keep up the wonderful work!
Many blessings,
Raven Aurora

hmm, 'tis shocking how just a few precious moments can change so much. been there, and wrapped in arms that were sheltering, i heartd the real one behined the walls and shared tears, but that moment crept by, and as a dream, i found that i alone again...
siple...but touching.
