Farewell, Lemon Fingers

Sadly, I have recently learnt that the domain registration for Lemon Fingers has lapsed. Most of the site was not archived in Wayback Machine, either, so a lot of my (and even more sadly, Tiara's) work is now lost. :-(

I do hope the site comes back. I've sent the owner of the site $100 to hopefully help the site return. It may be too little, too late. But I can hope.

I've come to realise that I haven't sent any money to Dreamwidth yet. I would really hate it if Dreamwidth were to disappear, the way Lemon Fingers and About My Life did. So finally, I upgraded my account to a paid account. I guess this is my new poetry home for real, now.

20 Years

It's been 20 years since we met
 back when we were teens
Crazy how after all these years
 you're still in my dreams

You greet me with your sandy voice
 and your words are all I hear
I look into your intense green eyes
 and everything else disappears

The tiniest glimpse of you sends me back
 to my dreamy teenage days
You make my heart skip a beat—
 and I'm blushing all through my face

All I can think about is you and me
 and the future that might've come
All the poetry I'd have written for you
 if only we could've made the jump

Though in the end I must face the truth,
 take a deep sigh and grieve
It's obvious there's no future for us
 and I know you'll have to leave

With barely a hidden tear in my eyes
 it's time for the long goodbye
My only wish is to see you again—
 before another 20 years' time?
