Lilac Recollections
Even now, I recall that memory;
When we both sat in the dim hallway—
Your eyes held hope, yet showed agony;
I watched you fade into disarray.
Like decades passed since we last did meet;
Through nights we danced 'tween love and hate—
Though gods proved ruthless, bitter yet sweet:
We lingered here, tempting our fate.
I missed you—your laughs and lilac scent;
Reminds me why I yearned so greatly.
But tonight brought change; with intent,
I whispered, "Now you're free, and I'm sorry."
Even now, I see your tears that night;
How they fell like rain upon pasture—
In letting go, I may be wrong or right;
'Fore dawn revealed your swift departure.
Now as I cross this somber hallway,
I can't escape the vivid flashback:
You're here with me that cold Sunday;
While lilac scents still linger back.
