HOW CAN I ?

How can I overcome

the lack you your kiss?

How can I overcome

the absence of your touch?

How can I overcome

having your scent

craved on my chest

all days and nights long,

feel your skin

but being unable to hug it?

How can I overcome

these burning tears

rolling down my cheek ?

I won’t,

because I don’t want to.

These memories are my home,

my shelter,

my all,

and in the deepest corner of my heart

I know,

we can’t overcome

dreams

yet not lived.
