~~The Beginning of the End… Was~~
That first day I laid eyes on you,
I had no idea that a few years later
I would have to return,
to the day before we met.
I smile, remembering the day
you held me for the first time,
and the many times
you’ve held me since.
That day you held me,
gave me such a new beginning
inside of a world that
included you.
A world that I had
often dreamt of; and
it was with you.
I believed with all my heart
that I was prepared for you,
not knowing that you
were prepared for me too.
We opened up to one another.
So long I had waited for someone
such as your self, but…
Somewhere along the way
I had to return to where I had been,
hours before I met you.
Only then did I find out that,
the first day with you had
erased all the yesterdays, and
there was nowhere to return to.
Many times, I cried out to you.
You heard me and you chose
to ignore me.
I asked you to allow me to return
To return back to where I had been,
before that first day, when I had
never laid eyes on you.
We fell in love so sincerely,
and together we developed
a full-blown affair.
So once more I attempt
to return to the day before
we met, and…
Once again you’ve become
a figment of my imagination.
You will cross my mind
on those long bitter nights,
and I will think of you,
while you’re somewhere
thinking of me,
and our being alone
from one another
will be so lonely
There will always be
a part of me with you.
And a great part of me will
always be missing
