Missing you

They say that dreams fade away,
what I once wished for will melt into nothingness.

The times I spent with you, invaluable.
They were like the dreams I never hope to wake up from.
The days we were together,
basking in ethereal happiness,
were too short-lived.

I am back from where I missed you,
a desolate place without your warmth,
your touch and your presence.
I cannot stop wishing back those moments with you,
those precious moments I had hoped would last eternally.

Somewhere deep inside,
I knew that it was only for few days,
stolen memories in time.

I am grateful to fate,
it allowed us to build our own memories together.
Happy were those times I held your hands,
and strode through cities, uncaring of others.
We had our own small world.
Nothing could break us apart.

Alas, we had to go back to reality later some time.
You, to your own reality and me to mine.
So different were our real worlds.
I soon thought that I had dreamt waking up by your side,
that first necessary morning kiss to greet me,
the unbelievably awesome times together.

I stand now, alone and lonely,
my heart growing heavy day by day.
I miss you much more than I did before I met you again,
these tears refusing to stop.
Each time I think of you,
I cannot help but wish back those moments in your arms.

Sheer despair grips me now,
your absence searing me to the core.
Nobody to blame,
this world is too cruel to allow us to be together.
You have moved on, it seems.

I cannot and will never forget you.
My one and only true love till the end of my life.
Whatever your feelings have turned into,
for me they keep growing stronger,
each day that goes by.

I am thankful for the moment in your lifetime,
that you so selflessly dedicated to me.
A dream, it appears to be now,
a far-away and distant one,
the memory of your kisses fading into a whisper.

I wonder if one day I will disappear from your memory alltogether.
Maybe time will obliterate my trace from your life.
It is already starting to do a good job.

I mourn the demise of a heart-breakingly beautiful thing.
I guess now is time for me to say goodbye.
I release you from a life you cannot hold on to,
and wish you happiness for further cities to conquer,
and I wish you always stay the warm person you are.

I doubt you will be forgotten from his brief and beautiful memory. Missing someone you love is such an empty feeling.
The reader can definitely feel your sadness.
