My Rendez-Vous with the past…

Went home that night,
to find a letter from you that took me back,
I see your name and I am in a dream,
i see your cold smile between the lines,
Has it really been 10 years?
You left me numbers to reach you.
You commanded that I reach to you, Like you always do..
Some code for a foreign country, We never will be in the same country.
I dial the numbers.. And I freeze,
your voice shattered the silence...

- Hello..
- This is me..
- How are you?

Waiting for you,
my one and only,
aching for your embrace,
longing for a glance of your face

-Good, you?
- Where have you been all these years?
- Here.. working, living, studying…

Looking for you,
at our places,
stalking the memories and the old traces..
Struggling not to forget, but how can I forget.
I still cry at night,
the past is still too bright.
I see my solitude and your lies,
my scar that never dies.

- I see you got what you wanted
- I did…

I don't remember what i wanted..
How I missed you.
How I missed your heart,
that master of disguise,
that sadistic master of my heart..

- Has it been 10 years?
- Give or take.
- I have missed you.. I see a girl, fresh as the spring, i see us by the river, i’m playing with your hair and you’re holding my head with your sun-kissed arms.
( I smile)
- I know you're smiling..
( I recollect my nerves)
- I am not that girl anymore..

I wish i was that girl.
I wish it still was easy to love you,
to give in to you,
i wish i could shed one tear for you again..
But i am a woman now, a castle
I am a shadow, a broken spirit
I am a deserted island, stranded between shores..
I am a heart in shreds and a body of debts..

- Did you forgive me?
-

Never
How can i love and forget?
I never hated you..
I see a boy, an innocent little boy…

- Come visit me
- Absolutely not.
- i have changed, i promise..

You will never change
don’t ever change,
you were born to make me suffer,
for you,
i want to suffer..

- you’re 10 years late!!

My love my one and only my first love..
Take care of you for me
take good care of that face
of that smile that i crave
of those eyes..
you will take care
you’re a man now
and you know how..

To my dear J.

When I need a gap of light I come here, I read and I close my eyes, I see..
Young boy that I really miss, waiting in his red car, bliss street under the rain, it's the sunset, it’s gray outside like the way it’s inside now but back then the light was inside the heart
I Wish for rendez-vous with the past, for a minute, for a moment for a blink
Please don’t forget me, you are the only light I have
