can i?

a thought in brief

By eva Published 12 months ago 1 min read
the dreamer

Can I live forever in a what if?

wondering if our timelines are destined to always miss

grazes of each other

found in corners of our body

left from collisions

months

ago

will I always see you in the faces of others,

Or

recognise you in a gesture of a stranger,

want you

in a moment with another

if our what if is to happen

i hope you will keep me in a box

with the lid slightly open,

so that sometimes,

when you let me,

i can whisper to your soul

love poemssad poetry

    Beautiful and the sad sense of longing for someone. Love it.
