never slipped into her life so fast
that she would be forced not to think about the ghosts of your past
time flies by and it seems too tied up
one wish and motion steered them to tear apart things they believed would unveil the what ifs.
contemplations when previous submission to heartaches softened the skin
and christened the lips
but the ability to stay away from the sweet scent of insanity
boils beneath faces that masks uncover
not knowing what the next
attempt would discover.
snap her fingers and click her heels 3 times
wondering if the last will bring her home,
seemingly gone in outer space for so long,
intergalactic superstition
flying from each corner of
the mind taking up space and time.
she remembers faintly the whisper of a promise well made
the interest of another was always forbade.
but for some reason, it's you.
the one from way back then
the "lover and friend"
who happened to hold her
heart with or without fame.
