Gus,
Under the star studded night sky,
Sweetly you told me with the innocence of a young man
Touching my hair with your long limbs
And my lips with your gaze
"Very soon, am I going to make you mine and only mine"
Gently, I pulled back from you, and your words; when I had known
Underneath all your laughter and smiles, there was something
Swiftly, you hid each time I brought it up
Telling me I had no right--no need, to bring it up
"An unnecessary habit of yours"-- you told me in a
Velvet tone, that I knew, hid your lies
God knows why I bothered with you all those years
Uniting with you each day I feared I would lose myself to oblivion
Silencing my loud thoughts into some background music
Tantalisingly so
Almost making me believe that this was what love was,
Vulnerable had I been, and blind too
Great endings might not be my ending
Utopia could be a dream in my dreams
Something I have yet to start seeing for myself
Tata, Gus,
All is well, but not us
Visit me in the next life, and let's see how it works
