Description We were laughing that night...
Your brother needed your car keys, but you forgot all about them.
You said I do such things to you and I wondered why.

I had just woken up...
You would spend the night out and I was staying home.
I didn't expect much, but you left me a text saying, "I wish you were here".

You were traveling out of town...
I knew you needed some time to chill out and we wouldn't talk much.
But still you messaged me, "I miss you".

I was anxious...
We were both busy with daily routine, but I didn't want you vanish.
You apologized and reassured me that you think of me everytime we are apart.

And then in our fantasy...
You were waiting for me by the port, but I never arrived.
I wish you knew how much I wanted to be there.

And after a while in my dream...
I crossed a path of autumn leaves and crawled in a dark tunnel.
I met you in the dark and it felt like a warm shelter.

Back at one of those nights...
You said I wasn't fawning you as much as you were flattering me.
I prefered to keep it quiet, but still mean every little word.

Every early morning...
I knew you would make my day beautiful with your "goodmorning".
And I caught myself smiling thinking about it.

You saw me standing near the airport parking...
You waved at me from across the street and smiled when I looked at your side.
I crossed the street and you gave me the hug I needed.

I was anticipating...
I was sitting there all dressed up waiting for you, but you never showed.
I thought we would spend the week together, but things went so wrong.

And minutes before our date...
I was trapped in traffic, but I wanted so much to see you.
I ran down the subway stairs and I smirked because I always find it ridiculous.

But soon I had to go...
With a cup of coffee and baggage on my arms I took the bus late at night to the airport.
It was empty and dark and all I could see was the city lights moving away.

So when we took off...
I looked outside and all I could see was the town getting smaller and smaller.
And all I could feel was you fading away.

Too close, yet so far...
You made me dream again, but only our nightmares came to life.
You were my too close to happen and I was your too far to be with.

You put pictures in my head. You remind me of things. This is what poetry is all about.

Great post!

Very beautiful. It just goes to show we don't take every mundane event in our lives too seriously, and it'll be too late when we expect it to happen.

I love it
