Oblivion

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.
