UNTITLED #15

Walking through the alleyway

Trying to keep myself dry

The rain is pouring harder now

But it will soon pass me by

The creature comforts I once knew

Mean so little to me now

Looking at the people in the restaurants

Is enough to make me smile

I can’t help but stop and stare

At the people driving by

In hopes that one of them is you

They’re not, but it’s worth a try

“Excuse me,” I say to a man

Who pushes me aside

He says something I don’t hear

Cos something has caught my eye

There you are

A sight for my lonely eyes

I run up to you, arms outstretched

As you start to cry

It’s been too long, we both know

Without having to speak

You feel like you belong in my arms

And I can barely stand on my feet

We hold each other forever

But it could never be long enough

I promise you this is the last time

We will ever be apart

The tears are flowing freely

As you smile at me

“No more talking,” you say

And that’s more than enough for me
