LITERARY | The Sight of Yesterday

Seeing you from afar lingers your shadows on me,
Felt like you were dancing gleefully with my uneven shadow.
The glimpse of your smile gives rainbows to my weary mind.
In my own little perspective, you were always the shining one.

I was once a coward admirer with zero confidence.
When the night reaches its peak busyness of twilight youths,
An explosion of truth debunks that reveals everything.
Makes me feel as transparent as I wear my eyeglasses to grasp with my sight everyday.

You become an open jar that accepts to fill with my transparency like a water.
You made me feel like it is real even it's questionable
Been so happy that my sight is seeing a glowing soul,
But time is a destroyer of sight that makes me see darkness.

Time enters an abyss like no one could escape after.
Time is my main enemy that makes you drift apart from me.
You were trapped in my mind as you're slowly receding,
Only a picture of us serves a small light I carry as I see you drifting away.

Carrying that small light isn't easy.
Yearning becomes my main syndrome.
Hopes in everything as I look at our picture.
Yet though, I'm still waiting for your shadow to come and hug me.

Now, you only exist in my mind,
But you never really exist in my entire life.
How time is cruel to us, especially to me.
It feels just like I was a product of the sight of yesterday.
