Blue

Turn your face towards mine

just for a minute now

So I can remember a time when all was fine.

-----

I want to see your eyes again.

Your eyes

The most beautiful ocean

The most pleasant day

The most silent stream

The most beautiful eyes.

-----

Show me the eyes with which

you used to see me with you.

I want to see you remembering

everything we ever were

and all I hoped we’d be.

-----

I want to experience a time when

I didn’t think anything of our love.

-----

I dream of returning

and I dream of telling my ungrateful self.

Because they say that nothing lasts forever.

So appreciate it while it lasts.

But I didn’t appreciate our love

Because I thought it would last.

-----

On some days I scarcely

remember your blue eyes.

On others, they haunt me

with their emptiness.

-----

And now, I see your eyes

following other dreams, other visions, other loves, other lives, other lands, other hands, other minds, other eyes, other eyes.

-----

They are following others

Your eyes and my eyes

have the same polarity

No matter how I try or what

I do, they never meet mine

-----

I know not what to do

I have no clue what to say

I dream of saying only a few words to you.

-----

I dream of your eyes

and my eyes mock me

for seeing so clearly

while my heart is unable

-----

I beg of only one thing.

I will plead

my knees will fall

and my head will bow down to you

-----

if you let me look at you

one last time

Give me this last time.

-----

I need to remember your eyes before you leave me forever

-----

Let me sit by the clear

blue ocean one last time.

Let me look at the vast

blue sky one last time.

Let me look at the vulnerable

coursing blue veins in my wrists.

-----

One last time.

I need one and only one last time.

-----

I grew too accustomed to

your eyes

and I then forgot just how

beautiful, surprising, intimidating, kind your eyes truly were.

-----

I never should have let your eyes

slip away

and out of my sight

-----

Let me see you

Let me see your eyes

one last time.

I beg of you.
