To Lacoste: In A Perfect World


You are the savior of the dreams that I had forgotten
You loved even when you were not loved
You watched even when you were not seen
You aimed to be the color in the palette of my bleak existence
You constantly offer me your world
Only to be rejected.
Again.
And again.
And again.
You are a gift best kept wrapped
Appreciated within a distance.
In a perfect world, we would be together
No longer would you be grasping straws with destiny, scrambling for its scraps
No longer would I be picking at my scars and draining the exudates of my past
You would be my lover, my bestfriend, my partner, my teacher
You would be my soulmate
And I would be the genie in your lamp
But I do not live in a perfect world
And neither do you
It would've made things easier if we did
If only I loved you the way you loved me
If only...
If only...
If only...
But I don't.
