I was trying to forget you

for awhile I thought I did

but there you are

as a ghost from the past

haunting me in the best way possible.

I even forgot your real name but

how can I forget what you made me feel

those summer days back then.

When we spent countless hours

exchanging love letters.

My mind was summoning your soul,

you words made me feel desirable and loved.

My heart was craving for your mind.

I wanted to stay drunk in love.

I was hoping for a possibility,

you had me thinking what if…

How can someone had

that much power over me.

She has to be a goddess, a myth

But seriously who are you?

A sweet addictive poison that made me fall

long time ago and I’ve been sober for years.

But today I’ve been tempted to taste it.

Slowly but surely I’m falling for your gravity.

How can I fall with same trickery

but there you are

so mysterious as the night,

brightening like sunshine,

delicate like a rose,

unreachable like the moon.

I will dream about those dream of the past,

resurrecting those visions that I had of you,

kissing those fine lips,

touching that brown hair,

letting those big eyes piercing my soul.

But what I miss the most

is that beautiful mind

that has the power

to take my breath away.
