ix. Sofia
“Albert”
Could it really be him?
Like smoke, he vanished
Now, he’s in front of me
I’m able to hold him near
“I missed you”
Will he say he does, too?
Even if it is just a dream
I want to hear him say
He never meant to leave
I fought the blinking of my eye
Enjoying this enthralling reverie
If this is the only way to be with him
I’d rather forget about reality’s kiss
Too bad, it’s beyond her control
Dreams don’t last too long
Despite her desire for it to last eternally
Reality comes around without warning
“Sorry, I’m not Albert”
My hands dropped to my sides
Not losing eye contact with him
I know, but I settled with the lie
That his going away wasn’t real
“I’m sorry”
She turned her back on him
Wishing to hear an apology
Not from this stranger’s
But from her beloved’s lips
She would not ask
For any explanation
She just wants Albert back
Hear from him again the words
“I love you.
I’ll always do.”
