Second Thoughts

there are never enough

seconds in the given day

to understand why you

are the first thought

 that enters my brain

dust from book covers

knowledge held secure within

a blue moon appears

once every twenty years

sensitive to touch - I am

your kiss was everything

how I held you close

and you would begin to sing

your smile - was so genuine

your soul - was oh so real

your scars - they told stories

about how you would always heal

there are never enough

seconds in the given day

to understand why you

are the first thought

that enters my brain

I sit in awe sometimes

and questions - they arrive

too many phobias - i have

fear is what keeps me alive

I never will forget you

I promise you with a full heart

you will always be inside

there you will remain

there are never enough

seconds in the given day

to understand why you

are the first thought

that enters my brain

people enter your life

for a reason - this I am sure

no more sadness

no more pain
