Member-only story
My lost love revisited.
I saw you after such a long time.
It enters through my night dream softly, drifting and unsure
It snuggles warm in my memory happy and secure.
I know the source, it stands beside me, brave and persistent
It embraces my heartstrings forever, bound and resilient.
Yet each morning the fluttered smile echoes a truth so pure,
That I remain spellbound by the wonder of your allure.
There is no stopping it; my soul will not relent,
For your heart’s beauty is unwavering and intent.
For years I have been love-struck and of this must endure
I do so with pride, for my passion wants no cure.
So, as I fade and the ravages of age start to show,
Know that the bloom of my love for you shall ever, ever grow.
From the novel: I love you, I’m Sorry. I’m sorry. I love you.
An exploration of five loves, five cultures, five periods, all finishng on exactly the same five words.
