Kryptonite: A Poem For Him

Kryptonite

SVH

Oh, my god, yes I’ve finally found the one!

I squeeze my arms around him, crying in joy and relief

It’s been almost five years since we last spoke.

He laughs and hugs me tightly, a look of contentment on his features,

And I smile, glad to have finally met him

He is only a year older than I last remember yet five years is quite some time to have waited that long to talk to me. But I honestly don’t care.

He’s here, wrapping his arms around me, embracing me like I’m the most important person in the world. I feel touched by an angel.

After five excruciatingly long and painful years, he forgave me for my sins towards him

Of course I hug back, scared to let go lest I lose him again.

He whispers softly,”No, its okay. I’m never leaving you. Ever.”

I nod and continue to hold tight to him,

Reassuring me of his true and actual form

It’s not my imagination this time

I am overwhelmed with a million emotions, most of them too happy to explain

But then something feels wrong

I see him shimmer in the moonlight, his already soft voice fading from my mind

And he focuses on something beyond my own form

I turn around to see what he might be staring at,

But when i turn back around to face him, nothing is left

I only remember waking up, screaming out his name

Lost, lonely and afraid I realize it was all a dream and he will never come back.
