Untitled 2

I want to maul inside this history of treasured memories 
And linger near the unspoken promise we both knew 
But dared not speak 
Out loud 

Why did we dance around the obvious when others plainly saw 
The genuine from the freeze frame 
Silly games 
Catch and let the heart grow 

Your hair was darker then 
I see your eyes, they're still kind and I? 
Wonder how the scene might end 
Had we remained 
And pressed through friends 
Right on to the other side that beckoned 
We knew it then, we know it now 

But that step, we will not take 
Although it begs 

These nights are colder here 
Tho safe - in this realm of everything but 
The one my soul craves 

I find myself observing 
Random scenes from these same memories 
Could there be another way 
To come alive 
To really try with something steadfast, 
more than simply saying we believe? 

Believe in what, when theories claim 
The bounty of the guessing game, 
Safe from interacting mishaps 
Far from messy make ups and disconcerting quips 

When drinking from the open keg 
For days and nights on end ...
