Wishful Thinking

Do day dreams make us feel better or worse I wonder...

Wishful Thinking

 

Its the sweetest thoughts

that pierce our gloom

and fill our hearts with tenderness

as
 we ruminate on what used to be. 


It's not the hurt

nor the cruel words...

nor the times we rasped against each other

like sandpaper on soft skin

until we were raw to the touch

that are immortalized in our thoughts,

but the moments we touched and did not push away...

the kisses that lingered...


the times we had to say nothing


and felt everything
...

the looks that made us tremble inside

with electric longing
...

making our bodies swell with expectation


in that static moment
...

seemingly endless

until our touch sent us rocketing

into the stratosphere.


These are the thoughts that move me now...

make me yearn

as if you're here...

but...

 

you're not!

I loved reading this, the joy of memories so alive, and yet deeply missed, that cause sorrow.......wonderful flow and emotion, and the beauty of love.
