Only You Will Understand My Sorrows, My Dear

Twice. (20/05/2018)

Only you will understand my sorrows, my dear.

For you are part of my soul,

my one and only eternal company.  

Yet, you and me

not only,

but many before us

the same hope,

the same fear.

I met you in a dream already,

Twice, my dear, and

I crave the moment you’ll be there for me only.

One.

Your hair, your eyes, your breath, your smile,

your voice, your gaze, your arms, your poise

Should you escape a dream that was once too kind?

And this makes two.

Your chest, your breath, your mind.

Did you love a dream that lied to you

Twice upon a time? ◆
