A Moment in Time


Today as I sat, I thought I saw you That face, the smile, & the beautiful eyes that stared fathomlessly into mine You gestured so fevereishly & urgently like you wanted...no needed to see me I called out your name with the faintest hope that it would really be you Acting foolishyly I ran out to meet you To run into those arms and have you embrace me Have you to hold me, care for me, and finally want me But it wasn't you... You weren't there It was simply my imagination painting a vivid picture of you Pinpointing my greatest desire from the very deep part of my soul I thought it was you...I wanted it so badly to be you But you weren't there...you never were
