apersonaljourney – stories of love

I really did,

I could look in your eye,

there you would be,

no shadows,

not another place

your heart needed to be,

only with me,

our own little island

just between the now and the when.

~

We could be there for hours,

you and me,

watching people pass beyond our sight

forever into a daylight stream

of sunlit confusion,

just you and me,

and only the two of us

in a dialogue would last forever,

with chuckles and a laugh,

oh my, how extraordinary

had our lives become

just you and me.

~

Then we let them in

all of them

like a stampede of lost cattle,

running every which way,

and somehow in the middle the two of us

the two of us,

let go of each other’s hands

and hear we are

– no really listen –

so far apart and far away …

~

I knew you once,

as did you me.
