wishing
&
hoping
to turn back
the wheels of time….
or
at least….
get a do over?
i don’t know how,
but, yes,
i certainly know why.
but why
must we both lose that
which lifts
us
up?
why?
i gave what i could,
but
i could give more.
Damn it,
let me
give you more.
i know an easier road
will take me away
from you.
i know an emptier path
will keep me from knowing
you.
i know
the path i seek
is the path
leading
directly
to you.
a path of loving kindness
a path of more, not less
a path of tenderness
a path of togetherness
i can travel the world ten times over
and never find
the wonders i uncovered
right here
with you.
you.
