The Lasting Echo of You

I had a dream about you last night,
I didn't see the whole of your face
Just the profile...still a beautiful sight.

The years have been many
Yet, you randomly still haunt me
Why? The reason? I don't have any.

The dream version of you
Seems to like dropping by
Seems to like slipping through.

They say you shouldn't regret anything
But I do, I always have
That distant hurt, it still gives me a sting

I messed up
I did the messiest mess up
I drank from the foolish cup.

I hurt you
I humiliated you.
God, what did I do?

My sorry has never been heard
It lingers within memories
Lingers amongst that past hurt.

You found another
As did I
And yet, the missing of you I still achingly suffer.

I'll always wonder
I'll always dream
I'll always hunger.

For what we briefly had
Quickly lost
Could never have.

It's stupid
Pointless
Torturously lucid.

All the above is true
So unforgivingly true
.....but that's, that's the lasting echo of you.
