When will Tomorrow Come (Free verse) by kassanna
Today I saw you
You stood on the edge of memory
Lips curled in that mischievous grin
Thoughtful eyes looking painfully into mine
I thought I had forgotten you
But there you were
When I least expected it
Today I heard your voice
Our song was playing on the radio
You whispered "I love you princess"
And for a while we swayed with the music
I listened to you hum into my ear
We knew all the words by heart
And I recalled every detail of our last dance
Today I heard the beating of two hearts
Distant echoes in perfect rhythm
I tried hard not to listen
But memory betrayed me
I thought I was over the sorrow
But a grieving heart is never silenced
It's only muffled by forbidden remembrance
Today I felt you
You reached out and touched my soul
Your fingers lightly stroked my heart
The warmth was overwhelming
And I felt the heat of passion
I know I blushed
It was the color you loved best on me
When will it be tomorrow
Today you have come and gone like a thief
Stealing unexpected moments
Giving me wishes without stars
Teasing me like an apparition
Seeing, hearing, and feeling your presence
Only to disappear...Leaving your trace of memory
