Emerald Eyes

Regretting what slipped me by
I keep the memories of those days close
If only the best and worst of you was even mine to have
Reflections of your evergreen eyes would not hold me

Why was I given the chance to capture all there was of you?
Impossible as it was to see through your hardpressed image
Dimly in dreams are your soothing words with me
Awake in my bed, still seeing your emerald eyes before me

Time granted little advantage
Maybe my heart was void and emaciated?
No matter the time or day permitted,
I never saw them clearly...

Did I find your ghost alive in well?
Moving silently in the park, so unmistakebly you
I shut my eyes and tried not to think of you
Because I know that I can't look away

Where did the shine in those jewels go?
Why did your voice begin to echo in the past?

Why was I given the chance to capture all there was of you?
Impossible as it was to see through your hardpressed image
Dimly in dreams are your soothing words with me
Awake in my bed, still seeing your emerald eyes before me

Time granted little advantage
Maybe my heart was void and emaciated?
No matter the time or day permitted,
I never saw them clearly...

Your emerald eyes...

Thanks Nanashi, as always I enjoyed reading this ... "Dimly in dreams" but the eyes ... the window to the soul ... still so vivid?
