It often feels like yesterday,
Yet today; it has felt like an eternity, since you were by my side.
I tried to speak your name again recently…
It still makes my throat get tight.
Beaten back down by tonsils and tongue, until I feel your name making knots where butterflies still inconveniently reside.
I tried to rest and slumber to get you off my mind,
But you showed up in my dream, you were smiling as your fingers interlocked with mine.
A tragedy struck again the moment I woke,
The brutality of my unconscious mind teasing a future I once dreamed of; a future now revoked.
