edward my dream

i don’t know how to start,
As I discovered an untouched art,
It was so beautiful and mesmerizing,
In fear of losing the perfect moment I don’t even blink,
This moment is more than what I deserve,
I trail my finger over the delicate curve,
The curve of his captivating smile,
I just want to sit here and watch all the while,
Those fixed and strong features make me lose my control,
His eyes so deep as if I am falling down a pitch black hole,
This being is of greater worth than the rubies and gold,
I grip his hand and tighten my hold,
It is so peaceful and blissful but unbearably cold,
The whole structure is perfect set into a mould,
I gasped as his fingers curled over my hand,
I gained a feeling of drifting away from the land,
I feel flying in the sky drifting into his world,
A world which is stunning yet remains blurred,
Even though I had been always scared of heights,
I couldn’t control myself when I was in air or a flight,
But with him beside me to hold on,
I felt so much fun I could have sworn,
The delight of him flying next to me,
Was something I hadn’t imagined it could possibly be?
His reddish golden hair floating behind him as raging fire,
Seemed even more real as we both floated higher,
He hummed a silent song as we flew in the sky,
The song was so sweet and natural making me cry,
I cried because I remembered my childhood days,
Those days had left me abruptly in a gaze,
I was no longer the innocent angel I used to be,
I was now a grown lady anyone could see,
I got back to the present with a gentle shove,
I turned towards him and there in his eyes I saw love,
The love only meant for me making me forget my pains,
As now I exactly knew in exchange of that what my heart gains,
He hugged me tight and whispered, “Hold on”,
A flood of air hit my body I thought I would fall and life would be gone,
But when I opened my eyes I saw him smiling down at me,
My feet touched the ground and he set me free,
We were back on the ground where I belonged,
A place where since I was a little girl for him to be here I had longed,
He was finally here,
We were such a lovely and special pair,
Before I could say another word to his beautiful form,
I forgot what was yet to come,
Pain shot through my heart and I shivered,
My knees gave away as I quivered,
I looked at him and he bent his head,
My eyes watered and I thought I was going to be dead,
“It’s time to go back”, he sighed,
I shook my head vigorously to tell him he had lied,
But my advancing hand fell to my side in a halt,
As I felt a sharp pain as if I was struck by an electric bolt,
I fell down clutching my chest,
To fight this pain I had tried my best,
I closed my eyes having my head in his lap,
I couldn’t understand what the hell was this crap,
I opened my eyes and stared into white light,
My vision cleared and I received a terrible fright,
I was no longer on his lap where I had been,
I was on the hospital bed it was what it seemed,
I watched as the doctor and staff congratulated each other,
My eyes watered I didn’t need another hint any further,
It all came back to me now what had happened with me,
My car swerved off the road and ran into a tree,
I had been injured and bruised for a long time,
But people had brought me here in the nick of time,
I had been in paralysis for hours now the doctor said,
If it weren’t for them I would be dead,
But was this life worth losing what I almost had,
I was now feeling pained as when I left he had been sad,
I could go back to him now I had my family here too,
But how can a dream you want be so true?
I closed my eyes accepting the stored fate,
Now to turn back it was late,
But now if I had a chance to tell him something,
I would tell him I wouldn’t have loosed him for anything,
He was the man I loved but life was indeed cruel,
I couldn’t meet him again even if I tried,
I had to forget him as if he was dream over which I cried.
