Alexandra

I swear you were not a dream,
But with each day the less real you seem.
As we stretch away from the past
Your image blurs into a distant fantasy,
The distance between us has become vast
But the closeness then was not for me.

Your parting kiss still fresh on my cheek,
But the memories I have are not the ones I seek,
What dare I wish and foolishly dream now
Something that I timidly hoped for but rejected,
Left without you, these feelings for company I allow
But in their warmth, as with you I’m unaffected.
