English Poetry: Old Love
Watching the beautiful patterns in the sky
I decided to close my eyes for a while
Feeling the cold breeze that hugging me tight."
Then I saw you, a familiar and unwelcome figure invading my private space
I wanted to leave but my body won't obey me
I can't move it as if I'm glued."
No one dares to talk nor break the eye contact
I wanted to utter a word but nothing comes out of my mouth
I'm speechless and this deafening silence that we both share is killing me."
I was taken aback by your words and I wasn't able to respond
You just smile but I can feel it's a sad one
I wanted to give you a hug and comfort you but I can't."
I can't because I'm afraid this old feeling will be back
Its been a long time indeed but you haven't changed a single thing
My thoughts came back to reality when a finger snaps in front of me."
Exerting effort to make the ambiance feel light
In just a span of time, we feel comfortable again in each others presence Talking and laughing about the things that transpired since the last time we're together."
Its past midnight when I checked my phone
You decided to walk me home and when we're at my house fronting the gate
You run away, waving your hands while shouting "Good night!."
The calmness that surrounds me bring peace internally
Wow, what a lovely night it is!"
nice poem :)
Thank you :)
