Somewhere, Sometimes

26 Nov 2016

alisajs
somewhere in the middle of a random thought
you are there
everywhere

and in the midst of this hurried life I live
never enough time,
never enough daylight

your smile reminds me
of what it means to be alive.

there was a place in time
so far it seems, now
and when I stop to take a breath
I bow my head and see

a vision of your happiness
it meant everything
and for a moment, I'm transfixed

back in time
when we were 'we'
so meant to be
at least that's what I told myself

the phone rings and I'm jarred back 
to my reality
perhaps more like duality at best

as this makes no sense
when it comes to true happiness
borne of this responsibility
my one reward

there's nothing more ...
