Gone

I turned around

And you were there.

We were staring at each other's eyes

Like time did not exist

Like nothing else mattered.

Those piercing blue eyes

Boring into my soul

Digging into my being.

You alone knew

Only you.

I stepped closer to you

Heart pounding every step I took.

I reached out my hand

Eager to feel you again

Aching to hold you in my arms.

I reached out

Almost touching you

Almost within my grasp.

And then

You were gone.

This can mean more than one thing as when I first read it I thought of one imagining past times and lost love but on re Reading was reminded of one of my own I saw him today were one sees themselves has they were in a mirror image and then once more the present intrudes and we are lost. However this is read it is still emotional, I love the tender expression of self. Keep em' coming

Wonderful write depicting a dream person who has gone away.

Thank you. :)
It's more of a memory of someone that you still can't get over from. ^^

This is kind of depressing in a way. Like how someone feels when they lose their other half. You feel as if they are really there and sometimes you imagine that they are right next to you, but in the deep contours of your mind, you know they are not there anymore. It is a sad thing to accept, but it happens to the best of us.

Beautiful dreamlike write.

[Jeremy Baker]

Beautiful imagining of a love, or desire, that is intangible and out of reach. Sometimes it is better this way. Great write!

Those missed opportunity leave us yearning for a better ending. I like the way you told the story in this poem. I like the ending to the excellent poem.
