"In Recovery"

We barely met then

But I really did tune,

Tapped into a force of

Unfathomable pull

Towards you

Your eyes, it melted

And melded

With mine

But I barely knew you

You could have been

A lover loved

And I rarely fooled you

You knew since then

I fluttered, starved

Just for you

As we watched and played

Laughter was strewn

To the skies

We ran and grazed

Through the barren lands

Of time

And I watched you whisper

As you bit your lip

I tried to rekindle

But something's amiss

My mind's in recovery

For days like this

I knew for a moment

That I'd never leave

My heart held agape

But no one could see

That I loved you

And I want you

But I stood there

To remind me of

That feeling

Those inklings

Ingrained in

But I couldn't

Keep up

As we watched and played

Laughter was strewn

To the skies

We ran and grazed

Through the barren lands

Of time

And I watched you whisper

As you bit your lip

I tried to rekindle

But something's amiss

My mind's in recovery

For days like this
