I Am Your Forgotten Dream

We met at a different time We fell in love deeply But time wasn’t on our side Personal matters accrued Parting with promises made Sealed with a passionate kiss That left me breathless Yearning for your tenderness of touch You became my reason to live for I longed for the time to be reunited I counted down the many days and nights Until you come home into my arms forever I dreamt of us in splashing joy I giggled at times when dreaming of fun things That we will be doing together in time I entrusted my life on promises made by love The date we set to be reunited has come Oh how I’ve waited too long My darling I cannot wait any minute longer Excitedly I set out and waited for you There I sat in the garden Under the pale moonlight My heart’s beating emotions of joy Until I was kissed by the morning sunrise Scampering mind with confusion Delicate flowers greeted me calmly Gathering my thoughts orderly I found no prints of you around You never showed up Your kiss and promises were all empty Where I burned and trusted you heartily Now this pain I feel is breathlessly choking me I can feel the light in my soul slowly fade away I am no longer living I am your forgotten dream Kissed by false promises Akkina 2/12/21
