Reminiscence
In memory of a loss
Once, I lay down on the grass
And gazed up at the sky
And saw the face of one I loved
In memories, alive.
I closed my eyes and thought
Of all the things I’d done
The way I ran away from love
And hid behind a mask.
Now that you’re gone,
There’s nothing but
The times
We left behind...
And so, I look up at the clouds
And see the heavens smile.
While tears blur the world around me
I give a slight, faint smile too.
Because I know exactly why
The sun is shining down on me,
And all the memories and dreams
Of all the things
That could have been.
