Sleep

I started dozing off with my sandals on while thinking of you.
Couldn't picture your face clearly, just some parts
and perhaps your eyes
but I've only seen you twice in my life so I didn't expect much.

Two beautiful days in a far off land stand as a fading memory in time and space
just the moment you left....s l o w l y escaping this heart that felt so much.

I reach out to grab a hold of it but within each attempt
slipsthroughmyhand
through every finger
straight into nothing.
Filed away
into my collection of false hopes and feelings.

I'm trying to recall why I thought you were the one, but can't.
The computer and telephone won't help me much either.

Frustration settles in as I then realize I am my own enemy.
So I fling off my sandals and fall asleep.
