Moment
時
You were so beautiful
When you looked up with joy in your eyes
From the ground.
You need not speak.
I can hear you anyhow.
How could we stand back to back
And walk away from each other
In opposite directions?
We walked in a trance so long-
How surprising to find ouselves
Approaching each other
Face to Face.
There is not word
That means
You
To me.
I will never walk away from you
Even if
You walk away from me.
A thousand nights
I wandered
Wondered where you were.
I was selfish.
I was wrong.
