A Moment In Time

I watch you as you enter the room Your presence is almost mystical I greet your luminous eyes with a feeling of nostalgia Silently remembering the days when we once were We both have grown to be successful individuals Although sometimes I feel that I have failed Looking at you with your many perfections and then Looking at myself with my many imperfections This couldn’t have been a perfect match You wink at me as you sit down behind the desk Sometimes I wonder if you could read my thoughts But if you could, would you mistake them for pleasure? Because without you my life has long been a distress I walk out the door to try and avoid looking into your face again Seeing you so happy and me feeling the opposite Sometimes I wonder if my heart can be unattached But then again I don’t think the feelings will be relaxed I can feel a presence walking up behind me so I turn to face whatever it was Now I am standing in the eyes of the beholder I stand there and hope, wondering if maybe you could hear my thoughts But all I get is “You left your purse!”, oh love what have you done.
