I found my Antinious.....

Remember that post i made a couple of years ago, about inspiration? Well i finally came face to face with my Antinious, my own Dorian Grey. A month ago, a spontaneous "let's meet up," text later, today i found myself writing again. (Of course there is more to it, but like they say the rest is history, what matters is the here and now)

This poem is specially dedicated to the better half of V.

My mind was messed up,

My heart couldn’t feel again,

Then I saw that face I once knew

In that crowded bar,

All was right again.

That familiar face,

The man I once knew

Engulfed me in his arms

I felt safe again, I knew then

No one could hurt me.

We had fun that night

Old feelings resurfaced,

He carried me in his arms

We both fell

Fell hard, fell in love.

I don’t know how 13 years went by

But I know now, I am not going to let him go again

I will hold on tight

For the man I once knew

Loves me and I love him too.

The man I once knew

Is the same man I know today,

I love him and he loves me too.

That night, he saved me

He held me close

He showed he cared

Yet he was afraid

Afraid of getting hurt

Afraid his heart would break.

To the man I once knew

The same man I know today

I vow to stand by you

To hold you,

To kiss you,

To be your strength,

And

To love you more each day,

Till my last breath.

Till the next read (Promise this time it won't take years), sip on some coffee and dance in the rain, for life is unpredictable.
