He’s in the shower
I sit at the nightstand
Wiping off lip rouge
Taking off my dainty pearls
The moon appears
And I can hear the wind whistling
For a moment I’m fixated in a distant past
Remembering vividly, the tryst, that tryst
A common visitor, this curiosity
Mere seconds only,
I cannot help but ask…
‘Have I settled?’
Once upon a time…
There was an understanding,
He and I,
We just bonded.
There was a connection,
He and I,
We were soulmates.
There was a spark,
He and I,
We were fire ablaze.
There was a misunderstanding,
He and I,
Thunder versus lightning.
There was a disconnect,
He and I,
Strangers to be.
There was a quench,
He and I,
A flame put out.
There was a memory,
He and I,
But now we are history.
