Forgotten Fairytale
I caught a glimpse of you
when you didn’t know I was looking
Trying to rediscover what I'd forgotten about you
About us
Why I'd once loved you...
In that other time
You were standing naked in front of the mirror
Your auburn hair glistening on your wet, mortal body
You had just stepped out of your morning shower
humming the customary tune you do so well
I stood quietly in the hall...
watching you shave your golden, red beard
while you hummed...
keeping the rhythm with your foot
It was intoxicating, observing your routine
without you knowing I was there
I'd watched your morning ritual a thousand times
You - always aware when I was looking
In the past
In that other time
Somehow...
watching you more with my heart, than with my eyes
made me melancholy
Missing those feelings I'd once felt for you
For us...
So deep within my heart...
For awhile back then
Did we ever really love?
Was it kismet?
Was it fate?
The question sits on unspoken lips
I sighed...
Missing us, missing you
Back then...
In another time
When our melody began
you sang the notes to my heart so well
so tender
We soared on the music
our mouths relishing the kiss
In our moments back then
For a time...
We were us, you and I
Tracing our love with thirsy lips
hungry bodies
I stood there looking at you for quite some time...
Pausing at the door before I left
Knowing...
I might never open that door again
I turned back once more before turning to go
making sure to remember just why I was leaving
But now...
Every time I see a man shaving
I find myself thinking of you
Goodbye my love
