Eyes closed. Everything is okay–
I envision what is ideal for this moment to feel right.
A warm embrace reminds me of the connection.
Your smile.
I hold onto the thought of it for as long as possible.
I can’t help but feel completely submerged in this feeling of such a reality.
Eyes open, and what was is no longer–
The feeling of your embrace gone in seconds.
It’s funny–the last time I opened my eyes, this fantasy was reality.
The smile was waiting for me.
Connection between us was, in fact, real.
I should’ve known to be hesitant when closing my eyes this time.
But how was I supposed to know?
How are we ever supposed to know?
To know that now I need to close these eyes to remember,
To feel,
To connect with such moments again,
Will find me in a dream state moments forth.
Such moments
Will forever be suspended in time.
And in this time, I remain still with the moments that once were.
