Mirage

One doesn't normally win a woman's heart in a day. Perhaps, a lifetime can be spent thinking of her shoulders or the color of her eyes as if the time was merely a dream. When last we met, I asked her clearly, 'You understand how obsessed I am with you? ' She gave me her acknowledgment without protest or positive approval, but it felt like success to be beside her when there were times I thought she was only a mirage I'd never see again. She still may vanish in the very next breeze but I know we've both touched each other and left an impression that past or future lovers will never replicate or replace. 12: 56AM 1-12-2017
