We sat there
for a long time, till
the crowd around us thinned, till
the sun shifted and the light changed, till
we felt our eyes
could meet again, without
the tears
A mere call away, yet
The space of a million miles
Of gushing tears separating us
Life! Precious!
Not to be squandered away
The song that played in the background
Was mournfully painful
And forgiveness was not easy incoming
I was in no hurry, but determined
Frame
by
frame
The movies in my head
Ctrl + Alt + Del
Ctrl + Alt + Del
Ctrl + Alt + Del
Ctrl + Alt + Del
Through the night
Dawn blossomed
On a bench at the beach
At whispering distance
On the bench at the beach
He sits
We sit
We have been sitting here a long time
The bustling, distracting crowd has thinned
The sun has shifted, the light has changed
Our eyes that once explored each other’s deeply
Pleading for acceptance before looking away
Meet now
Without tears
The waves hum a love song
That no longer echoes
Pain
