Hollow Circumstances

I want to howl, run and flee, not to watch what I don't see. I want to rise, run and flee not have to watch what's in the sea. Tonight, I am like a seed unplanted, blown by the wind. I pray not to remember that day in December, when the grass was green and I fell in love with you. I wish to forget when my life felt so soothing with you, when we met under the sparkling moon, that unique night in December. I crave to forget how your eyes used to close, whenever you kissed me, forget the way your heart beat, whenever you whispered in my ear, how much you loved me. Forget how you used to rest your head on my shoulder, tell me words I wanted to hear, forget it was only you who could make me sigh. Help me forget. It was only you who could illuminate my darkness, it was you who could thrill my heart with love. I have to forget. It was only you, who could sway me to understand how to grant my reverie become real. Let me forget how each night at twilight we would pray for the evening, to be just the two of us, dream of the days send just to be together. Forget how our sweet souls would reach the sky, touch each other until we could no more endure, but make love. Help me forget how my dreams started to develop a sweet sensation, than previous ones, after I laid eyes on you, that day in December. Forget how dancing with you was almost charged with electricity whenever we touched. Let me forget, how you appeared that day in December like an illusion, when the light went on. Suddenly, my life was shining, nothing was normal when I knew you were the one and only, forty five years ago. Tonight, we became separated shadows. Tomorrow, will become hollow circumstances. You left me sinking in my tears. Therese Bacha March 15 2014
