all alone
in the
deafening
silence
of my room

but in a memory
i hear you calling
whispering
tender promises
that make me
dream
of you

i close my eyes
and
i'm there
with you
like it was
just yesterday
but then
it all fades
away

take me back
turn back
the hands of
time

to
the time
when you
kissed
me
in the
warm september
rain

back before
my heart
was filled with
this pain

if only
we could be
in love
that way
again


if only
