Zigzag wind
Of the times you put me in your lap and brought me home
The so many stars I mapped out as it got dark
The way I looked at you
The slow rhythm of your breathing and the zigzagging wind
Everything so unique
I hope the wind never extinguishes
The flame in my gaze
It usually crosses over
You usually go through the portal of time and always be
Your hair covered my face and the taste of the evening
The dramatic silence... after finding you in my private world
The whispers, the laughter and the lights in the background
Everything made it seem cinematic
And surreal
I hope the lights never go out
While I'm there
Do you ever come through
You used to go through the time portal and always be
I stand before you
I'm sharing the same ground
Making sure the gateway stays open
I'm standing in front of you
Holding your hand
Squeeze it
About this poem
About the moments that two people spent together and one is gone in this vastness, but remains in the memories that always come back.
