Attachments

We met on a sunny afternoon,
When the clouds stood white and still.
The skies were blue with composure,
Sunlight shining upon the hill.

 At first I was sailing by myself,
 And then I was flying with you.
I wasn't in trouble or danger,
But you came to my rescue.

 I felt you pull me closer,
Like a magnet attracting a nail.
I was committed and devoted,
 As you held me by the tail.

 My stomach had butterflies,
 But little did I know,
 While I was living in a dreamland,
 You had decided to go.

 I'm sitting on the hill, waiting.
Hoping, you'll return.
 I can see you on the beach, laughing.
 I feel my heart burn.


Oh, how naive I had been
 To build castles in thin air.
 I imagined you sitting beside me,
 But you were never here.

 When you come back from the mountains,
You'll see me on our hill.
 I'll smile and hug you tightly,
 But your heart I'll never fill.
