Walking alone
Walking alone on this meandering path
not even a shadow of myself by my side
a cloud of silence surrounds me
I hear only my silent footsteps
reciting poems from our short lived past
Sometimes I stop hoping to hear your footsteps too
growing towards my direction to complement with mine
to reminisce over things we had dreamed of
and when I hear nothing at all I keep walking ahead
thinking that you might have left me behind
walking alone on this broken path I wonder
if your love was an illusion; a mirage
and if I should cremate these memories of me and you
or if I should preserve them as architects for my future
sometimes I stop trying to locate you
or at least the place where I lost you
and when I fail I keep walking ahead
hoping that somewhere not too far the paths we follow
will converge and there we will meet
to reunite and agree which way to walk………
