How can I forget the moment when I graze your lips?

The sweetness that washes over me.

I sit there thinking of the past.

And then I'm jolted out of my reverie by the melody of a sad song.

I feel like crying.

Petrified, I sit there like a stone.

Or like a piece of ice in the sweltering summer.

My heart is frozen; only your kisses can melt it away.

My heart is bleeding; only your love can heal my wounds.

Honey, I feel sad because you are not going to come to rescue.

Pulling me away from the the abyss of despair.

I just want to clasp you in my arms and tell you how I miss you.

Bleating about the the moment you left me.

You just left me, leaving me standing there alone as if I had been banished to Serbia

A place where people find themselves caught up in a state of forlornness

I just want to be with you.

Heading together towards the altar

Where we both say I do

Where we smile at each other and cry afterwards.

.................................................................................................

Can you hear the soughing leaves outside?

Whispering with an air of melancholy.

I close my eyes and pretend to be walking with you in another imaginary place, dotted with a grove of trees

With a river gurgling between leafy banks.

With the insects stridulating, punctuated by the voice of chirping birds.

With a horse scampering around.

We snuggle together under the sky draped with patches of cotton-shaped white clouds.

Then the sky gets dark with inky clouds materializing

Darting about like groups of shell-shocked bison.

The sky seems to be becoming a monster

Glowering at us

Then the purple rain starts to fall with eddies of wind swirling.

Blowing us away.

....................................................................................

I wake up and find myself lying on the grass.

How could this be? I ask myself, pound my chest , and scream

With my eyes becoming moist.

I feel so frustrated.

Struck by the realization that we can't even be together in my fantasy,

What am I supposed to do?

I just want to be with you.

Nothing but you.

How can I forget the moment when you say you need me?

The sweetness that washes over me.
