It was a dream
But I din't know it
For me, it was reality.
Time for school
I was tying my shoelaces
When her presence made me look up
It was a ritual for us to kiss goodbye before going to school
'Bye, have fun!'
Was what I heard when I walked out the door each morning.
But today,
Time slowed down
Each step she took towards me
Prolonged,
And I felt an ache deep within me.
It seemed that I hadn't given her a kiss in a while
Felt her warm hands around me as I hugged her
That feeling of emptiness was about to be extinguished
I could feel it slowly residing
With each step with which she came forward,
Towards me.
Closer.
There was beauty in the sadness that I felt
As the last thing I saw
Were her eyes brimming with unconditional love.
Time,
Forever our barrier,
Broke the course of my dream as reality came crashing in.
It was a dream
And now I know it.
A dream it was
Bittersweet,
For even through the tears
I smiled from my heart
The dream,
Left unfinished
For even reality could not complete it...
