Again
It's always that one thing
We try to ignore and
Conciously suppress -
That comes
Conquering our nights
Becoming alive in our dreams
When our subconscious minds
Takes over
We saw and felt
In our dreams
That one day
We happen to reunite
Our faces beaming up with smiles
As we stare into each other's eyes
Across the space
Hundreds of people around
Walking and passing by
As our time
Comes to a pause
Quicken our nervous steps
To lessen the distance between us
And we both come to a complete halt
As soon as we stood
In front of each other
They whispered out our name
We just smiled in response
Holding ourself so hard
Resisting
From running into their arms
"How are you?"
They asked,
Their hand reaching out for our arm
Crystal tears pooled up our eyes
"I'm good. Thank you for coming"
We whispered
Giving out a little chuckle
Trying to hide our trembling voice
But they always hear
beyond the depth of our voice
They briefly brushed their fingers against ours
Before gently touching our cheek
Their eyes starring into ours
Perhaps scanning
For all those unspoken words
Tears instantaneously flow
Gushing off
Like a dam released
We tried to smile
We tried to hide
We tried to suppress
From showing
How our heart was breaking
As we forced ourself
To hold back
While all we wanted
Was to hug them
And tell them
How much we missed them
But they always saw
Beyond the depth of our eyes
Slowly they wrapped their arms
Around us
And pulled us
Into their embrace
And we stood there
Crying like a child
"It's okay,"
They whispered
"I'm here with you"
That was exactly
The problem
They are here
Now
But they will leave
Again
And again
We woke up crying
And drifted back to sleep
With warm tears
Continue streaming
Even when we
Close our eyes
