Only In The Dark

The raindrop on my nose bridge
Reminds me of your soft kiss
That slid from my forehead
To my lips, down my chin
‘This one dear, is a prayer for love eternal.’

Our love grew from fragile to strong
As our space we shared
Caring, nurturing
That far into the future
We’d still smile, when we heard Akon’s:
Nobody wanna see us together

Times have passed
The future came and went
And carried you with it afar
Where no doubt a maiden found your worth
And no doubt you repeated the prayer.
‘This one dear dear, is a prayer for a love that holds.’
As you kissed them from fore head to chin.

Now I must go,
To share my sleep with dreams
Where,
In the discomfort of iron bars and rough raymond
The dreams squeeze in.
I could get better
But no,
I want this
This memory of you.
This torture of being reminded,
Of how in the night we hug close
As we listened to Aventura, Arie and Julio.
It was an obsession
Every time we kissed, I became a hero
Coz you were the truth,
My brown skin
I was your indigo girl.

True to the words,
Whenever I need you,
I just close my eyes
And I am with you
Coz this is where we started,
This is the memory of you.
The only thing that ever mattered.
