A hand around the waist Makes a longing feeling quelled, A belonging feeling swelled; Oh what it is to be wanted, Desired, admired, and all those sweet Yearnings of the heart that rise and fall With reminders from romantic films, Tearful music so expressive, dolce, and Cantabile are like made up words, Meaning nothing at all, but the tone Means the world. Tell me you love me One more time. Wild imaginings once dreamed in a teenage Mind. The gap all too easy to fall behind. Fantasy men marching in their black jeans and loose ties, shoddy but cute to the eye. The school girl thrill. The chase all but a ruse Or a rush to get a kiss at the price of an ego Too under-developed to call mature. Boys in their blazers, too unsure of their own aspirations to call on any relation with you. A dream of Disney: the handsome and the royal Are not real. Dream on or forget that yearning. Bury yourself in your learning. Music unites the soul of one healing And the other cold; Waiting for the moment, So many deemed wrong. Unknown to the other as parts of the unwritten song. Words unsaid yet uttered as projections, A something never quite explained. Or explainable. Retrospection is the only looking glass To hear the true music, united in Time. The clock ticks on in tempo, The evenings roll on in separate lines, Parallel and unheard, silent aberrations of the Fledgling thoughts. Flying away to learn to Think. The words used in their artful form, The music of communication, intonation still Lingers. A thinker remembers impressions; Expressions from a year gone by. Who knew you would remember me, And I, so frustratingly forget my fantasies, Since condemning them as such, Giving me nothing but a silent wish, Sentenced to dream and imagine the impossible. But here you find me, revive me, and, Upon the wave that dives ever deeper, We become each other's keeper. Originally written in 2018, age 22
