AFFAIR D’AMOUR

I feel you…yes I do

I hear your voice whisper my name when the wind blows softly through me…

Your shadow lingers where my hands can’t touch

Your footsteps silently leave traces of where you’ve been..

Do you think I wouldn’t know?

That you’ve refused to sleep where I laid you..

That the love we shared draws you back to me like an endless string..

Do you have any memory of us?

Do you wonder who I am when your soul creeps by me?…

Oh I wish you could just say…

How i wish I wasn’t left to pick up the pieces…

How I wish I wasn’t s left to give names to the stars

Just to feel close…

               ~~~~~~~~~~~~


I felt you last night…yes I did

While I lay awake staring at the darkness of my thoughts…

You came..this was one like no other…

A sudden glint pleased my mind…

The hair behind my neck stood straight…

Welcoming you…I’d like to think…

That little wind came again…and you whispered my name….

“Rora”…

I heard it….

But I hoped you still had those memories…

The memories of us…

Even with you there…I felt alone….

I wanted so dearly to believe that you came to finally say goodbye…

To brush your lips against mine and say more than just my name…

But….you didn’t…


             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You came but not to leave…

Even as my nose picked up your scent…lavender with a bit of masculine affair d’amour collection….

More and more you were coming back to me..

To linger by me till my heart can take no more…

But deep down I knew…

I knew you laid by me for the sake of my failure to let go..

I can’t…and I won’t…

And I’ll wait for you..

Day after day

Dusk after dusk

Until I see you again.
