Maybe
Just maybe
if I weren't so broken
and you weren't so naive and clueless
then maybe we would've been friends

Maybe
If you had taken the back seat in the corner next to mine
instead of the front row
and if I had payed more attention and actually cared
then maybe I would like you

Maybe
If my life wasn't as ******* up and yours filled with things other than math
and if I had lifted my nose from a book every once in a while
then maybe I  would notice how you stared at me

Maybe, maybe, maybe
there are too many maybe's and too little time

I ran four decades back in time
to sit here with the past
filling my senses with life
memories worth their salt
I ran to be here with you
my very first love
yes you knew then what I know now
we would always be one
To the less discerning eye, we are gold
glittering its distraction, scars hidden behind
angles and misdirection

Empty souls on parade
vying for attention

When will we learn
our flaws are what make us different
our flaws are what make us the same
all we are, and all we're not

*Let them shine
Inspired by
Daniel Allinson's "Shame of the Selfie" &
an old saying my grandmother used to tell me
"Everything that glitters isn't gold"

Place this gentle hand of yours
upon my heart so full
open your eyes,  I ask you
to see a longing you may recall

Stand as close as a whisper
let me inhale your seductive scent
as I look deep into those eyes
I'll know my dreams of you were meant

Touch my cheek so tenderly
upon it I'll feel your breath
I have longed for this forever
for 'our moment' I have always dreamt
