Kaleidoscope

Somewhere in a dimension not known to other people,

We're dancing to a song that we both enjoy

We're talking for hours about books that we love

We're facing each other, with not the slightest bit of awkwardness

Not worrying the slightest bit about time,

Or the people around us who're minding their own business

Because we're in our own world,

Where time doesn't move in nanoseconds

Time freezes for that moment of awe looking at a perfect creation

Of a mind so beautiful that no one can ever compare

I find myself longing for that time space with you

In a world where there's no judgment, no frowns

Just people who spend time doing the things they love

In that beautiful dimension I created in my mind,

Nothing interrupted us. Not time, not energy, nothing

Like being stuck inside a kaleidoscope

Each turn brings a new discovery of beauty.

Never a second of boredom, only new patterns and colours

Turning magically within the space it conquers

Teaching me new wonders of life, beyond my imagination

And now as I pen the last words to this poem,

I find myself aching to the thoughts that appear in  my head

Of how that beautiful dimension is just an imagination

A space that does not exist, except in my mind

As I write these words I realise how the truth always pulls me back to reality

And every beautiful story must end cruelly

Cause that's the only ending I've ever known,

For every new person who appears in my life

No matter how strong the bond is, people always leave

I know you said it wouldn't be easy to get rid of you,

But babe, I've been living my life believing that I'm a monster

Who would love a monster? No matter how pitiful, how painful,

A monster is a monster

And I'm that sad eyes looking at you from afar

Always thanking God for our beautiful way of meeting

Always grateful for the times you lifted me up

Always hoping I could do more for you

Now as the kaleidoscope stops spinning,

My shivering hands fell to the side,

Wiping the tears that fell unexpectedly to my cheeks

My blurry vision can no longer see the beauty of kaleidoscope,

But the memory lingers in my heart

Not willing to forget the beauty of that view,

The feeling of awe, the beauty, the comfort.

As my eyes adjust to the light from the sun,

I wipe the tears and smile

To the reality, to the future, to the dream that I saw

It may just be a fraction of my imagination,

But it's still beautiful as it can ever be..
