#Seventeen

My heart on your palm,

on a string, tied around your finger

tripping,

skipping,

aching to be yours

#AlwaysForever

Only as Real as a Dream

Paths accidentally touching

Creating ripples on the pond

Only to fade into the silence.

Seemingly once so real.

But only as real as a dream. 
And eventually, like a dream, lost to the fog of time?

Thoughts spoken,

Feelings shared,

Words ricocheting in an empty room.

Am I to you, as distant and far away, as if on another planet, as you feel to me? 

The word 'distant memory' taking on a whole new dimension.

I no longer need ask, "Can you hear me now?"
Once #Alwaysforever 
Now #Over&Done
