I run away..

The night endures,
the touch lingers,
the words softly spoken,
the awakening of something thought dead.

The shadow of a kiss on my hands,
the memory of something infintely sweet,
heartbreakingly beautiful,
something that I forgot the existence of, a long time ago.

You whisper haltingly,
wishing to be the one for me,
showing the love you have for me,
more love to strew on my way.

And yet...
I run away.
Too afraid to hope,
too scared to believe in happiness.
Happiness was the last time I smiled,
by your side,
my head on your shoulders,
my hand in yours.

Happiness was the last time I waved you goodbye,
tears stinging my eyes,
knowing that my reality could not be so beautiful.

I wish to go now,
I have lost faith in a better tomorrow.
I wish to lose you now,
while I can still cry about it,
than lose you later on,
when the gap within my heart would be too huge to bear.

Love, you showed me again.
But Alas, I have no faith in love anymore.
I can feel it, see it in your eyes,
but yet...I run away...
I am too broken to care anymore..

ahh...
ones definition of beauty is so so subjective...
one must learn to shout with confidence.
or not do you think?
