STRANGE THOUGHTS
When You Hate To Be In Love
The day we decided to meet was one that would be remembered forever!
He stood by the window,
humming a tune
that was so familiar.
I watched the way his hair
blew towards me,
A faint whiff of cologne
filled the air.
Twenty years was too long!
And yet,
I could still taste the dew
on his finger tips,
And the whisky on his lips.
I could still smell the wet mud
on his clothes,
and the fresh dahlias
that he always brought along.
I could still see that immense longing
in his beautiful brown eyes.
and feel his strong arms
enveloping me
as we stood and watched the sunset
ever so often.
And now,
here I was at the airport,
longing to meet him again
twenty years later.
longing to rekindle those
precious little moments,
we spent,
wild and carefree
a long time ago.
I stared at him,
as he stood by that window,
tears streaming down my cheeks.
And then, I did the wisest thing.
I turned and walked away.
