Dissociation in style
I walk on reflected clouds
It’s a metaphorical living
I wish I could live on the ground
I always wander in the spaces
Liminal places of the nether world
where the shape of a snow is intact
and the anticipation of a surprise still better
than the surprise of you visiting
where you don’t usually visit
Usually i’m the first to arrive and
the last to depart
I walk away from closure
and run from the memories
of your touch
just to live
a little life of existing
where the potential of us
was precious and better
than the reality of not being good enough
Wonderful!!
Thank you Salman. Glad you liked it!

Thanks for sharing your words. 🙂
Thank you!
This post is quite thought-provoking. “the anticipation of a surprise still better
than the surprise of…” just about anything? Living with unfulfilled dreams, anticipating the wonder of their fulfillment, but appreciating the here and now … no looking back … only now and what next. That’s where it’s at, Rahul. 👍🏽❤️
Thank you for your considerate comment. Means a lot 🙂
You’re welcome. <3

It’s hard to let go of what was and what could’ve been, when it means admitting that will never come back.
