Poetry
Regrets.
By Diddi
28 March 2008
No matter what age we are, we dream as if we were still in our youth.

I listen to your breathing.
Even, quiet, sleeping.

A thief, I creep and
Turn the sheet
To lay myself to sleep.

Should I touch?
Would you awake?
Enfold me in your arms?
Make me safe?

No, I am old,
Dreams are gone.

Such loving thoughts
Are not a part of me.

Ah? I don't get it. Who is the 'you'? If it's the narrator's partner, then what's the big problem? I mean, bigger than if he was young?

Bob and I are not young, but there are memories of times past. Sometimes I would that I could resurrect them.

You are welcome to awaken this thoughtless old man at any time. Perhaps we should just take a little time out for each other,exclusively.
