A day or two he spent
He held me with outstretched arms
and swept me up to the clouds
He gazed at me with those tempting eyes
and filled me up with satisfaction
A week or two he gave
He took me to different places
My feet have never touched before
and treated me like a precious jewel
A month or two came
When I woke up to a tranquil morning
Yet he was not beside me
He needed to sail across the world
for a time I cannot define
I waited for ages and ages
For the warmth of his embrace
The glow of his smile
and the saccharine taste of his lips
But my lover remained out of sight
A year or two occurred
He fulfilled his vow
and appeared right in front of me
But the smile he once wore
Turned into a deep frown
His once mesmerizing eyes
were now stone cold as ice
And the scent of his body
a mirror of dampness
A decade or two has passed
My longing as deep as the ocean
For the man I loved
was nowhere to be seen
Yet his presence shall linger
Just as the persistent wind
