Ruminations
Premonitions...
These visions I have
They're of joy, happiness, love
But deep down they are also of pain, suffering, death
It is of someone close to me
I speak of, I think of,
And whom I love with all my heart
Gazing out my window across the stars
I see, I hear, and I sense
Only you staring back at me
I breathe again as the visions
Of you and me appear before my eyes
There is no one but us
In our secret paradise
Where you first kissed me
There is nothing but our love
No power, no hate, no war
The garden gate protects and locks us away from it all
I see us now touched by these demons
Conflicted, worried, and sad
Our time together is precious
But I know this space between us
Cannot keep what we have apart
I only think of you more in each passing day, hour, and minute
I wish we could go back
In the past like the way you used to hold me
But we can only change with time
How poignant our love is
You cannot turn back the hands of time, my love
We can only make up for what we've lost
The future for us I see is clouded, dark, and unclear
In truth I may be afraid, but be brave, my love, be strong as I will for us
Don't turn back. For I know you see what I see.
