Forgotten Fairytale

I caught a glimpse of you when you didn’t know I was looking Trying to rediscover what I'd forgotten about you About us Why I'd once loved you... In that other time You were standing naked in front of the mirror Your auburn hair glistening on your wet, mortal body You had just stepped out of your morning shower humming the customary tune you do so well I stood quietly in the hall... watching you shave your golden, red beard while you hummed... keeping the rhythm with your foot It was intoxicating, observing your routine without you knowing I was there I'd watched your morning ritual a thousand times You - always aware when I was looking In the past In that other time Somehow... watching you more with my heart, than with my eyes made me melancholy Missing those feelings I'd once felt for you For us... So deep within my heart... For awhile back then Did we ever really love? Was it kismet? Was it fate? The question sits on unspoken lips I sighed... Missing us, missing you Back then... In another time When our melody began you sang the notes to my heart so well so tender We soared on the music our mouths relishing the kiss In our moments back then For a time... We were us, you and I Tracing our love with thirsy lips hungry bodies I stood there looking at you for quite some time... Pausing at the door before I left Knowing... I might never open that door again I turned back once more before turning to go making sure to remember just why I was leaving But now... Every time I see a man shaving I find myself thinking of you Goodbye my love
