When the evenings of forever <br />Started fleeting <br />Going fast <br />In the distance <br />Behind closed eyes <br />I could still see you <br />Standing with your back to me <br />Unaware <br />I tried hard to memorize the moment <br />Knowing it would be important <br />Without fully grasping why. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I watched you walk away <br /> <br />Not realizing you would not look back <br /> <br />Not knowing I had seen your face for the last time <br /> <br />I tell myself now <br /> <br />If I had known, I would have done things differently... <br /> <br />I could die to just touch you.. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />And now <br /> <br />That day, that time <br /> <br />I broke down <br /> <br /> <br />I felt the warm winds of summer <br /> <br />Become that days wind <br /> <br />Blowing you back to me. <br /> <br />I've tried to forget <br /> <br />But time has softened the sharp edges of my memory <br /> <br />I no longer remember the feel of your hand in mine <br /> <br />Only recalling that you held it <br /> <br />I cannot remember the scent of your hair, freshly washed <br /> <br />Only that I loved it <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I am not made of the kind of metal <br /> <br />That would allow me to sleep at night <br /> <br />Without memories of you <br /> <br />My yesterdays unravel before me <br /> <br />Brightly polishing my mistakes <br /> <br />Until the glare hurts my eyes <br /> <br />Powerless to change what I've done <br /> <br />Alone in the darkness <br /> <br />Between the shadow and the soul <br /> <br />I put my love for you away once again.<br /><br />Eslam Mohamed<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-not-made-of-metal/
