As I see you fade away from my memory

You seem to come back to it vividly



If I see you in a dream

I am afraid that If I close my eyes to be able to still see you 

I blink

Then I lose you



If I see you in a dream

I am afraid that If I open my eyes

I realize you were just a dream

Then I never see you again



Oh, my dreams

They are like secret rooms

Where I can have you partially

Between life and death

Where I can grasp the feeling of you



They have a shimmer to them

Like glitters in the air

Exactly what I saw the first time I met you


Note: First section of the poem was inspired by Talal Al-Rasheed’s poem, ٌYo My Last Love.
