Back Then

​Long gone they say when everyone’s away
Stolen a dream of wonders and rainbows
Slowly, I want you to speak to me with patience and loyalty. With an air of a grace, and a breath of content. Don’t walk off, turn to me and tell me a story. Never leave for too long, never be without us in your thoughts for too long. I want your presence, your smile and laugh. I want your gaze of respect. Make me feel like royalty. Toast to our present. I won’t ask again. Have the integrity to do without asking. Spin me around like a dangerous tornado, like a princess at a ball. I don’t want to be lost, but to be lost with you. Every step you take next to me, like dancing on clouds. Lightning shock of intensified stares. Bare. Vulnerable. Safe. Grazes in places, tingles, tickle my skin.
 
I remember those days. You don’t. I’ll remember for you. They were nice. We were such great friends.
