Sweet time

The paths I walked while

talking on the phone with you

about everything under the sun

are still lanes of sweet memories.

The places I went while

you were asleep

Thinking about a life with you

waiting for you to wake up again

are still stops in our fairy tale.

When I stay alone now,

wanting to talk to someone,

I know it’s because I’ve known you.

I don’t know if I still need you,

but I know this feeling.

It’s big. It’s beautiful. It’s pure.

I don’t know if I want to be with you.

I want to go to that past,

for only a few minutes,

where I spent my sweet time alone and

also lived life with you.

I love it. I love you. I love those times,

those memories,

I want to keep making more.

But,

I doubt I’ll forgive you.

I doubt you’ll forgive me.

Ends are bitter.

So, I wonder..

Was it a dream?

Were we just a couple of

hopelessly romantic idiots?

Was it real?

Did we make all that up?

If we didn’t,

was it wise to lose it?

I don’t know if we’ll find out.

I love the taste of our sweet time,

but if I walk back,

I know I’ll want more.
