I walk in
just to see his smile
for 47 seconds
It’s the kind you hear about —
the kind that Lights Up everything
I wonder if he is always the sun inside himself?
like he is the sun for me
Good God I’m grateful he exists
in a world Like This
I don’t even need a drink today
I just need those 47 seconds
The flame inside
Reignited!
by a you I will never have
Is it enough the flame was lit?
Guess I either drown it out or
Take it
Well, I guess it don’t have to be you
But see Life can be a little cruel
In the way She spins her shadowy web
Light glinting off her teasing edge
Promises, promises – the devil’s breath
But, then again…
I learned a lot from you, my stranger-friend
Doubt you’ll ever know the True Effect you had on me
And so it is –
And so it be —
We all go on Not Knowing
Who we touched
Or just How Much
But this is my way
Of saying Thank You
Maybe in another life
It will be you
In a different way
Tangibly
(Oh to have you tangibly!)
Or maybe…
Maybe This was all that was ever meant to be
Though I confess
I wish I could tell you Everything
But at least I can tell you This:
And hope Somewhere Inside you feel it —
My heart-felt, soul-felt
Thank You
