Hope: Lost & Found

So Dull...
Everything colourless, always colourless.
Nothing new, nothing worth my time.
Head down, I saunter on my way.

Wandering aimlessly, avoiding the faces.
Voices everywhere, calling.
I murmur reluctantly; weak response.
So dull. So uninteresting. I don't care.

Can't be!
A flicker of light, from the corner of my eye.
No. Mistaken.
Too good to be true; continue on my way.

This time a sound.
A beautiful sound; a voice.
A magical, wonderful voice.
I hear it calling; must be a trick.

Taking time to focus; I never focus.
Louder, closer, so sweet.
Need to find the sound; the pesky light returns.
More focus; so used to nothing.

The light comes closer, clearer.
A face, your face. Your voice.
A smile touches my face.
A real, honest, smile.

Lost in your wonder.
Your eyes, your laugh, your touch.
So sweet, so precious.
Sigh...... Complete.

No! Wait!
Not enough time! Why?
Tearing my soul as the light dissipates.
Your voice a faint memory.

Sobbing, terror, fear, loathing.
Tearing me in two, watching you disappear.
Not enough time. Never enough time.
So much pain, please...

I Love You.....

So Dull...
