To Be Us

You didn't answer
when I called,
but it didn't change
a thing.
I know 
you are there
stuck in your moments 
of dispair,
lost in the decadence
life throws at you.
I'm still here
gaining in my moments
of acclamation
found in the kudo's
life can give to you.
Time goes on
with or without you,
but its not enough
to keep love away.
Though it all
we wait
for a time
to be us.
