In my mind, I see your lips move
But I can’t hear your words
I look into your eyes
Searching for the man I once knew
The man whose words
Used to make me smile
The voice I loved to hear as I closed my eyes
Before I would allow myself to sleep
The man who spoke of our future and shared his past
Who shared his dreams and desires
Whose words caressed me
Long before his hands touched my skin
Where is the man…
Whose words spoke of promise and love
Who spoke poetry to my heart
His words beautiful to read
I search for the man I thought I once knew
I can’t hear his words
I can’t find his heart
I wonder…did he truly exist?
