Finding Us Again

I come across a photo taken of you, seems like ages ago, a picture that speaks more than a 1000 words could ever say, Then my body stills except for my lips that you used to adore, caress, tenderly I whisper "I miss you", knowing that to your ears it will remain unheard, I feel the unshed tears burning at my eye lids wanting to release the pain that was stifled all this time, Again this relentless time, that heals or prolongs the pain held in my unconscious dreams that one day I will return to you embraced in your arms, tears flowing as steady as the Nile, landing on the shoulder of the man that remains an intangible memory of my mind, All this despair behind the exterior of the seemingly elated emotions delayed across my face, Dwells beneath, becomes manageable with time but never ever leaves , that the man who is here with me now tries to help ease some this loneliness I have grown accustom to, he says "I love you", with a passion he longs to share with me, He doesnt want to face reality, cus he knows deep down the real truth of my love, when I believe Im alone he stares at me quietly watching the untranquil emotions that is undeniably written across my face the love for another man, of my past, eyes distant and vacant as he watches me look out my window, and I place my hand up to the cool dampness, of the glass, praying that it will extinguish this raging fire that burns for this man, I still yearn for after all this time, but its hopeless, and hopeless I remain till you find me, I find you, we find us again...
