Blogging A to Z challenge- J
Just before I close my eyes,
I see you smiling down at me.
The touch of your hand on my hair,
is like a feather light kiss on my soul.
Just before life lets go,
and I breathe my last.
Just before death comes
to take me away,
I try to hold on,
to your memory.
Though I shamelessly cling,
with all my desperate might,
Your warm hand slips out,
of my cold and clammy ones.
I close my eyes and sigh.
Was it only yesterday that,
you were mine for keeps?
Was it a dream or a fantasy,
Was I ever your ecstasy?
Did you ever love me at all?
I was crazy for you since,
I let you in my heart and,
refused to see reason.
I was in love, my friend.
Just because we drifted apart,
do you believe we were cursed?
Are we the star crossed lovers,
who never their soul-mates meet?
