I hear a song and my eyes fill up,
My eyes fill up with memories,
Vision distorted by the tears making lenses
Through which I can see the past
See your eyes as drowned in mine
As mine are in yours.
See the smile that lights my life;
You dance and I’m the only one watching.
I watch you engrossed in something.
I remember you asleep.
I wipe my tears and you’re gone…
I’m alone again
A picture catches my eye, and my throat constricts:
I cannot speak, choked by the past.
I feel the lost things…
The touch of your hand in mine,
Your fingers curling around,
Our gaits synchronising,
To swing our arms, to raise our faces,
To laugh at the sky and be in love,
Your hugs, the way we melted into each other,
No separation, no time, no space,
This is forever, we are forever,
I cough, sip tea and you’re gone…
I’m alone again
