no reply

your words cocooned me in a hazed warmth,
the smile etched on my face never felt like it would fade,
the sky opened its arms to me as I saw the blue lights of heaven for the first time,
the prospect of your love felt like coming home.

honey trickled through our conversations,
my heart swelled with each syllable you spoke,
the hands on the clock ticked away unnoticed,
i began to fit you into my future.

then like a bolt of lightening on a sunny day,
like a lava flowing from a faucet,
like snow on a desert,
you gave me no reply.

our fantasy ended as abruptly as your last word.

goodbye.
