When I close my eyes (Part 2)

Strolling down the crowded lanes,
Drifting through the summer breeze,
The leaves of propitious hope,
Settled down once again.

The enchanting breeze,
Rippled through her hair,
Reliving all that was faded.

I looked afar,
Through the mist of forlornness;
Her twinkling eyes set in the stars,
Glimmering through her lucid smile.

When I closed my eyes,
The spellbound skies,
and echoes of reprise,
Poured within my mind.

As fate unfurled a miracle,
A tale yet to be,
For what is unknown,
And that there is to see.

Her heartbeat in mine,
Through the fading mist,
Her smile in mine,
Where the bond persists.

I opened my eyes
within the crowd again,
Her mystic gaze stuck to mine;
Fate nodded in anticipation,
Through destinies anew,
one more time.
