A couple of exchanges, a couple of smiles
exchanged over the daily blinking of an eye...

I have been waiting for you without timelines
Looking at every face with your semblance...

Losing you the second time around
Prior to us having even started something out...

There is
no way to meet you but through this...

Do not wander into the night,
Searching for that fragment of light...

If you smile back and I reacted diff'rently
If i fail to recognize life in its beauty...

If I smile at you and you pay no heed
would it matter, I am not your need...

Coming of age is tough
One ends up sitting in a table...

When memory edges on pain,
when in thought only shadows remain...

I do not miss you as the darkness envelops
the place in which i stand...

Oh what great honor to see you in the dark
when even the owls that reign the night could not...

For you,
Beloved, I walked the roads at such a slow pace...
