Do you feel that too?
During your quiet moments,
When the world seems to have stopped,
And all that there is, is the clock ticking-
Do you feel a tinge of pain in your heart?
Like something seems amiss-
Like a forgotten memory,
Nudging you-
Calling for you-
Pleading for you to remember-
That from a distant past,
An important fragment of your soul
Is left waiting-
Waiting for you to look back,
And remember:
That to someone, somewhere
Maybe far from the present,
You've made a promise of forever-
That forever, you will never forget-
That forever, love will remain.
But you don't remember,
And this pain in your heart will stay
To tell you that there's something amiss-
That forever, your heart will never settle,
And forever, you will mourn for something-
Someone-
Somewhere-
From a long time ago-
Whom you know nothing about.
So during these quiet moments,
I close my eyes-
And with a whisper, I tell my heart:
We'll find your missing piece,
Maybe not in this lifetime,
But surely, someday, when things are better,
When we are finally ready,
We will reclaim that promise
Of forever.
