found.

hands

I never thought
I would find you
Maybe you found me
I never need to know
Which way is real
I only need to know
That it happened

The night we met
Those eyes of yours
They smiled at me
With just a look
You made me blush
Your hand held mine
My heart swelled

You shared your story
And listened to mine
We laughed together
All our loneliness and
Every drop of sadness
Melted away

We wanted to stay
Until the sun appeared
Or possibly forever
But the world interfered

I hated to go
Endings bring my tears
But I promise you
Someday I will
Kiss your forbidden lips

swash.

About what sandra thinks

Sandra is a writer, sometimes blogger, poet, artist, emotional disaster. She thinks far too much and sleeps far too little. Sandra lives in the Northeastern U.S. but dreams of an oceanfront home in Italy, but she would settle for a non-oceanfront home in Italy. She loves books, brutal honesty, coffee, and the color black. She hates insincerity, beer, whipped cream, and facebook. And she is uncomfortable talking about herself in the third person.

    It’s a wonderful poem and piece of fiction. Sad for the character, it’s fiction and not reality. Great job Sandra!
