During your absence
Time melted all around me
And the sun rose and set
Upon my need to see you again
My memory tried to stay accurate
But the erosion of time caused holes in the picture
I could do nothing more
But collate a haphazard portrait of your face
The eyes, nose, hair, mouth
Everything about you
Was nothing but a poor substitute
When compared to the original before me
A surreal image that could only be a dream
I was rendered numb with shock
Unable to speak
Unable to control my rapidly beating heart
My careful plan to react with indifference
Precariously balanced on stilts
Frozen with indecision
It would be my choice to let it fall
One extended gaze was all it took
And without consciously choosing
I flung open the drawers of my soul
Baring my true feelings
For you and the world to see
