Drabble #7: Distant Memory
Being able to understand each other,
And to share with each other,
Are both as short-lived as a bubble on the water.
Obscured by the sands of time,
Unable to hold on,
I gave up until I saw you again, asking
"How much pain have you been carrying all alone?
How much loneliness is hidden behind you eyes when you smile?"
A lost serenity; I was lost. I had no cause to fight for. I had no dream to chase, merely a faded wish that never truly had a destination from the very beginning. I wonder a lot nowadays whether all of this had any significance to you at all. I would lie awake at night, thinking about you… like you were an old lover that got under my skin just a bit too long for my liking. Got under the grime, sweat, and crust of my body… and ran through my veins…
Like you were my blood…
My only source of life… how did it ever come to this?
