You Again

Thu, 12/21/2017 - 17:00 -- AJR7898

Dear 'Kira,

It's been a while since I've seen ya.

You...

You left my life a while ago.

Since then,

I've only ever thought of you.

Not in the way I used to,

More like friendship-

Than wanting to woo.

Ooh...

That rhyme was a bit weak,

Kind of like when we took our seat...

No not like the first time we met,

When I thought my life was set...

If you were to read this,

You'd be confused:

"We sat together?

When?

Are you being a weirdo again?"

And I'd say:

"Loca,

Cállate la boca,

And read,

This is serious!"

You'd smile.

I'd smile.

A tension that can be felt for miles.

Then you'd read,

And you'll see...
 

I had a dream.

It was....

Odd.

Pardon my unreliability,

This narrator already-

Has too much of memory!

But I do not remember how,

I was brought about-

The situation.

I was in a mall with my friends,

And coincidentally,

I met my past friends.

It's amazing how they were all there,

All I could do was stare,

Unaware-

Of what they had to share.

I was greeted with appraisal,

Eyes blue, brown, and hazel.

What a coincidental reunion...

Reunion.

I promised you that after we split.

But our roads have diverged a bit.

Then I saw you,

From out of the blue,

In that same dream too!

Who woulda knew?

You!

You....again.

Your dark brown curly hair,

Dark brown eyes,

That always made me look away,

Because my breathing would rise!

And laughably,

You were still your same short size!

That never bothered me however.

We met again.

Reunion.

Everyone playfully pushed us,

As they knew this reunion,

Was a must.

However,

We willingly strided to each other.

Each step,

Another centimeter of our smiles,

Increased.

We greeted as we did before-

With a hug.

From then on,

The dream had no sound...
 

We courted for so short,

A hug was all we could achieve.

We knew there wasn't time,

To get that far through the line.

But in this dream,

Our time,

Resurrected.

Our goals,

Redirected.

We spent that day together,

As we deserved.

And for the first time ever,

We interlocked our hands.

I felt a cold,

A breeze?

No,

I was cold!

Your hand was warm.

You were warming the cold,

Within my dark heart.

We laughed,

We teased....

But our time was halved,

No!

Please!
 

I got over you a long time ago,

And I am still over you.

But to see-

You,

Again,

Was a blessing.

To feel your presence,

Again,

Physically and spiritually,

Again.

I woke up,

And memories of us,

Flooded my mind.

And it made me wonder what we had.

When I hugged you-

While you were upset,

Is it safe to say,

I held you in my arms?

When we spoke almost every night,

Is it safe to say,

That in a way,

I was with you,

Regardless if it was by virtual means?

When we saw each other,

For every time we stuttered,

For every time we grew shy,

For every time we teased,

For every time people watched us,

Is it safe to say,

That was love?

Was it?

..........
 

No matter.

It was only a dream,

I'm not dwelling on it.

I'll admit,

I did enjoy my time asleep!

With school stressing me,

I was slightly put at ease.

I just found it odd,

How you popped-

Up in my head again,

Via a false reunion.

With you,

Reunion...

Probably my last with-

You Again...

Dear 'Kira,

It's been a while since I've seen ya.
