WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED

Who would have guessed
it's been years for us?
An absence oftentimes ignored.
Knowing we missed, felt the void.
Taboo...the words.
Until they were spoken,
Until they were heard.

We picked up the dance.
Awkwardly shuffled our feet.
Through the past, into now
Our victories, our defeats.
Our ears bloomed open to hear
our memory a sponge, an abyss.
Seems eternities we shared
and eternities we missed.

I don't see the harm
though we may talk in our sleep
of the days we miss, time that we keep.
God you sparkle, how you shine
appearing to light my path, my life
though I cannot call you mine.
