Lost In Thoughts

I wake up in the middle of night, and lose myself in meandering  thoughts, I can not rest until I ponder about you,  At least for a few precious moments!  It becomes very dark, it becomes hauntingly lonely,  How fervently I wish I could bring back the few exhilarating days we had been together,  And all the torturous days we were apart -  When the summers emerged with gorgeous sun-smitten days,  And the winters arrived with frosty, bitter nights,  Year after year!  Did you cease dreaming about me?  You will protest here, and say - you never did!  In long intoxicating summer days, in ebullient, exuberant Spring evenings,  In heartless chilly wintry nights -  I was with you.  You revealed to me, you were almost in a daze,   When one terribly showery day, with endless pouring rain,  You came, only to see me!  and I didn’t have the faintest idea!  If I could, I would take that day away from the history of mankind,  Because how shockingly cruel was I,  To be wrapped-up in my frivolous world, to be so blind!  Every time I remember those electrifying moments when both of us were in a trance,  I can’t believe I let it fade,  A love, untainted and flawless, marvellous and breathtaking,  Rarely experienced in one lifetime!  I wake up at middle of night,  And ponder about what could have been!  How my life and your life could have intertwined  In a perfect harmony!  Second Place - The One That Got Away Poetry Contest Sponsor - Silent One
