Mi Animus
By Ruby Rica Ramos
Once I journeyed alone, astray
Unsure of where to go, I lost my way
My heart was losing its vibrant play
Only in dreams, I found my day
And as I closed my eyes once more
In my dreams, it's you I adore
Your smile, its beauty, and its gleam
Imprinted in my memory stream
We met again in my dream's embrace
Sleep became my desired space
A heart once cold, began to race
In you, I found love's trace
In dreams, with you, I share my time
In dreams, I'm not alone, so sublime
In dreams, I learned to find my prime
And in dreams, it all began to chime
If in dreams, you're the only one I can hold
Please, I wish to never be bold
For I fear what tomorrow may unfold
If waking up means our story's told
"You don't know me but I know you. And I will always remember you..."
Still aching from her internet ex-boyfriend's scam, Tamitha finds herself in deep trouble when she meets Roosevelt Sanvictores, the man in the photos her ex pretended to be. She knows that he's off-limits, but when circumstances keep bringing them together, maybe fate's got other plans.
