Temporal Love

A pleasant experience,

You left a lingering memory on my senses,

There was a sublime urge,

Urge to meet you again,

To know you better

For you are like an ocean

Too deep to fathom

Little by little you reveal yourself,

Subtly showing your vulnerabilities,

Shades, tones, meaning

A new one each time

And slowly,

You take over my senses

Like love does to us

Enraptured

You are tangible,

Though you've never touched me

And those marks sustain

On sweet memories

Sweet, sweet memories

Of you, your meaning, your sound

But you and I knew,

We knew we've got to part

And you will never be mine.

We never made any promises to each other but one.

Promise of keeping those memories,

Your gifts, smile

Tears

Nostalgia I promised you,

My dear song,

You came, you stayed, and you took off

But I shall remember you

Always.
