Pre-Nostalgia

Before our days turn into a memory

that I will resuscitate whenever

the pain of missing you engulfs me,

I’ll look into your eyes and imprint

it’s exact shade of green.

I’ll make you smile and indulge in your laugh.

I’ll allow myself to gaze upon your lips

and reminisce about how it felt when

it crashed upon mine.

I’ll look for any excuse just to be close

to you and breathe you in,

and when it’s over, because all great things end,

I’ll close this chapter of my ‘favourite fuck up’.
