Wistful Thinking

zhangyuyouyu

I will be the beauty to your beast 

Be there when you’re down

I would carve out my heart for you willingly

But would you be there when I need you most?

 

Lately, I have been dreaming about you and our non-existent memories

Recently, I can only think of you 

Constantly, all up in my head is you and I

And my fantasies

But do you do the same or am I only at the back of your mind?

Does us bother you as much as it does to me always?

 

Sometimes when I walk on the streets,

I seem to catch a glimpse of you among the human sea

Making me turn my head in hopes of you

Just to get disappointed 

Out of the bus window, when everything is all a blur,

I can only see you

A camera focusing on two main characters in a cheesy romance film with the cliche sappy music

But did I ever hold a place in your heart?

 

The people I met after and stayed has a soul of you

Of your humour that never fails to cheer me up and brighten up the skies

Bringing me back to my shy and innocent days

If I were more brave, would we have matched?

 

Thank you for the past as I anticipate the future

You moved on first before we even begun

I was the side character looking in

as the flower blossomed,

Could you tell mine withered?

 

But it is time for a new chapter to write itself

Let these hauntingly beautiful memories fade away

  • Comment from author about the poem: Bits about a dream which feels real, a tinge of regret for not being brave to talk about it but we were young and now I hope this would not bother me anymore, for me to move on, let go and stop this wistful thinking.

    You say you're new to poetry,but this is so well written,..I have my suspicions😀 A poet/poetess writes from the heart,..always from the heart,and I can easily feel this came from your heart. A great poet once said, "Pen all,And never fear your audience,...I learned that from a beautiful poetess we have here at MPS,..it's a great piece of advice I like to pass on to others🌞 Thanks for sharing🌹😀✌️🕊

      Thank you! I find it easier to write about experiences and my feelings although I fear about oversharing sometimes a bit too much. Thank you for that advice. I will keep it close to my heart.

        I too USED to fear over sharing,..The greatest poems are about life experiences,...and feelings? That's where poetry is born. I look forward to reading more of your work.😊
