I dreamt of you in a dark night <br />Of hidden stars, <br />The mysterious light <br />That emanates from your eyes. <br /> <br />A day, years ago, <br />Walking upon the beach, <br />Drifting into love <br />And not knowing how to tell you. <br /> <br />The sound of the waves <br />And my heart beating at midnight, <br />The tender moment vanishes forever <br />If there is not a kiss. <br /> <br />Former lovers always crowd the air, <br />Your pearl necklace and perfume, <br />I imbibed your essence <br />But knew someone else was on your mind. <br /> <br />I mostly allow myself to forget such thoughts, <br />But this exquisite longing returns without warning, <br />The ghost of impossible love.<br /><br />Uriah Hamilton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-ghost-of-impossible-love/
