Once Upon a Dream: Part 2

You lean against your car
As I stand in front of you

Eyes locked on eyes
It's time to say goodbye

"Goodnight" I whisper as
I turn to walk away

"Wait" you whisper back
As you walk towards me

I turn back around to see you
Standing there

You grab my arm
And pull me in for a hug

Soft and gentle
Your touch lingered on my arm
Letting me go as slowly as possible

Just like my dream...

Dear Kristen,

In reading your poem, I found these lines clumsy:

Eyes locked on eyes
It's time to say goodbye

try something like:

Our eyes intensely locked
Only time for our goodbyes

*Hugs, Cat

Beautiful substitution

Thanks for the feedback and recommendation, Candlewitch! I'll play around with the wording some and edit it when it's ready!
