With the curtains drawn and the doors shut tight I snuggled under the covers for another lonely night I closed my eyes to think deeply of you to look back at a time when we might have been one, not two I can still see your smile and the way you moved your lips I can still hear your voice as it caressed me in soft, gentle tones The conversation moved along slowly thinking we had all the time in the world to explore living and loving as if we belonged to each other We watched and we listened feeling both anxious and calm we touched, yet we didn’t until our commitments were resolved Looking back once again dropping tears on my pillow I pulled the covers up higher trying to keep the memories inside when I whispered to my love I whispered to him a goodnight.
Life can change in the blink of an eye and we are often left with only the sweet memories of a love that will never die. This is wonderful writing, Sara. I really love this poem! Merry Christmas.
Take care,
Sherry

That must have to do with Christmas Eve. We are either so busy that our hearts and brains are switched off - or bored, that memories and hopes haunt us.
Never give up on your dreams. Just wait, what the New Year will bring. Sometimes dreams come true.
Merry Christmas and peaceful holidays.
