She Really Deserves The Best... Poem by RIC BASTASA

inside last
night's dream she
appears again: light skinned
too young for her age
smiling
seducing you to be
in her side again

you have actually
forgotten her name
but her face speaks
a language that
makes you remember
what it was before
between you and her
in that past

she holds your hand
she does not speak
she takes you to a
very silent place
where she plants a kiss
on your lips

you love her
still
that is what you
can only recall
but you cannot
love her anymore
and that is
a matter of
a firm decision

you left her again
but this time
she is no longer
crying

when the dream closed
like a door
and you are out
into the open
field of your
disposition

you are definite
there is no guilt
there is only that
happiness
that somehow tells you
she deserves
the best

and you are not just
that.
