another repost...
My eyes are not working well.
They can’t see anyone nor anything but you.
It seems like your picture was posted on my brain.
I had my breakfast as if you’re the one who prepares it.
But reality tells me my plate was empty.
I sat in front of the TV watching as if you’re beside me.
But reality tells me the show was over.
I had my lunch as if you’re with the rest of us.
But reality tells me to pass the ketchup.
I listened to the lines of the song with
“I do know you from the page of my book.”
Still it was you
But confused by the next line
“I should be ready for a fall…”
Is it a fall in love or a fall from my grip on you?
Late that afternoon,
I sat beside the window wishing you would pass by
Luckily you did and gave me that look
I rushed outside waiting for you to return
But reality tells me the lamp lights are on.
I had my dinner alone
I stared at the unlit candle in the middle of the table
Then magical things happened
Candles lit
Fragrance of wine
Shades of red
Petals from the window
And there you are
Sitting in front of me
I looked into your eyes
But in a wink
You’re gone…
I go to the sink and brush my teeth
I saw your reflection in the mirror
You’re walking towards me
Giving me that look
My mouth was kept wide open
But the taste of the menthol tells me you’re not there.
I go to the bathroom and cry
Did I ever crossed your mind
Like you do?
I go to bed and lay myself to sleep
Praying that in my dream you would come
But the tear in my eye let me realize its insanity.
Then my phone rings
Your name on the display
Was it real or it’s just me imagining?
But the knock outside tells me it is real
I answer the phone and you’re there on the other end
Asking me to walk around the village
I put on my pants and my jacket and rushed outside.
There you are, still wearing the dress you wore when you passed by
I closed my eyes for a moment
Expecting you’ll be gone the moment I open it
But there you are standing, smiling
I walk towards you looking deep into your eyes.
There is something in your eye that move my veins,
They make my heart beat fast
I am excited
I shiver
Still looking through you
I’m falling
I’m breaking
I’m crying
I’m dying
There is something in your eyes that made me realize
That you don’t see me
But still, I kept smiling
Then you spoke “Hello!”
Then shared the great time you had
And the love you’ve felt for someone who’s not me…
