I've stayed awake all night
All that's changed is the light.
I'm still me, you're still you
Together, two people who've changed
yet remained the same.
Like a photograph caught forever in time.
The beat of our hearts mark seasons and milestones.
Our pulse is the ticking of the clock.
I've stayed awake to watch if sleep brings change,
It does, it brings the dawn.

Why do I write at night?
Why?
I'm in love with night's velvet caress
It's silence
It's cold air whispering words
And the taste of anticipation.....
that those words, once tasted, heard and felt
Will be read aloud,caressed by tongues
and become alive.

They say never look back.
Who are they?
Why not?

One day is all the time anyone has.
A day to be born, to die alone.
A day to live at a time.
But, this one day makes markers in our lives,
this day marches on,
until we find that this one day has lasted.

In one day we can find true love.
In one day we can change ourselves.
In one day we can change minds.
In one day we can achieve.
In One day, but not today.
