The Day I Lost Aim
I remember
the sun on the horizon
the sparkle in your eyes,
next to each other, yet distant;
the ocean breeze relentless.
My thoughts drifted.
I couldn't see our future.
I felt the emptiness without you;
I wanted to just reach out
hold you close forever,
but you were already gone .
To these old eyes
it was so long ago,
yet to the eyes of time
only a moment has passed.
That was the last day of us,
the last time we spoke of love,
the last time I felt it so strong,
the last time you were truly within.
Looking back at myself
I see self destruction,
childhood fear,
and arrogance.
When I take time to remember you
I see your smile,
I hear the echo of your dreams;
I wanted to give them all to you.
I remember the feeling
of your skin against mine,
a sense of belonging,
the beat of a heart in love.
That's how I see you;
how I feel you still,
and always will.
