Mist

I drove through the mist
with tears rolling down my cheeks.
I saw you standing at a distance
hands spread out,
calling me closer.

Nothing much was visible
My head was spinning...
I forgot to hit the brakes, it drove through you.
Looked like you dissolved in the mist.

I could perceive an odour...
It was your favourite scent.
I hit the brakes this time
and got down to see you.

You weren't there.
Maybe it was all in my mind.
Maybe I was hallucinating.
Maybe...

The alcohol had found its way to my head, I thought.
I turned around towards the car, with dismay.
There you were standing in front of the car.
Your hairs, glowing from the gleam of the headlights.

You wore your favourite dress.
The red gown, shining brightly.
I don't know why your face was blurry.
Maybe it was the alcohol.

You waved at me, and became pale.
I wanted to take you in my arms and never let go again.
With trembling legs I moved forward
and tripped to fall to the ground.

You were gone, once again
and yet I couldn't do nothing.
I kept laying on the concrete road.
I had lost you once again.
