Visions In the Mirror

Visions in the Mirror Morning comes, so up I get, and rush to look in the mirror. Remembering your tender grip, as your arms gently hug me. I hold my breath anticipating, that you will be in the picture. All I see is another fading vision, us together like we used to be. We are in the park on a sunny day, laughter and smiles in abundance. Time just melts, when we’re together; as love plays out to its own melody. Neither of us want to ever leave, with sunshine on our romantic moment. I glimpse again, now we are at dinner, playing games, as we look, at each other. More memories come, as I close my eyes, of you holding me tightly in your arms, again safely you watch over. I want to say those magic words ‘I love you’, but I’m afraid you won’t say it back, so again I freeze in my mirror, I reflect but it won’t give you back, into that bed disappointed I return. My duvet seems an empty place, until I realize you were there all alone. Copyright Elle Smith 2017
