Psychedelic Reunion

Past midnight

I met you again

Among a crowd

My heart skipped a beat once more.

My eyes found you

Searching for yours

Feelings resurfaced once more…

Happiness

I never thought I’d see you again

Love

Not a day went by without your thought

Care

How are you? Are you well?

Desperation

Memories of unreciprocated feelings

Fear

Have you forgotten me?

Sadness

Perhaps I still have no chance

All in the moment

My heart skipped a beat.

And then I took a risk –

No longer seeking regrets,

I called out your name and watched

As you found me and searched my face.

You recognized me

I knew it

Yet still I had to ask

“Remember me?”

For him, I was a nightmare

For me, he was a dream…

I looked into his eyes and for a moment

Forgot to breathe.

It’s been so long

Since I saw that face,

Those eyes,

That boy who stole my heart,

It’s been so long since I heard that voice,

And I’ve longed to see his smile

I remember so well

Just once more

We agreed to meet up

In a park or an empty stretch of beach

And I cried when I saw him

I could no longer control it

My throat caught when I looked up to him

“I thought I’d never hear your voice again.

I thought I’d never see you again.

It’s been so long…”

I hugged him, tears staining his shirt

And through the material my muffled voice would say

“I missed you… I missed you so much”

Between sobs, as he wrapped his arms around me too.

And then the sun shone once more

Ripping him away from me

And the dreams come to me like memories,

And the memories?

They are of dreams…
