Recognise
I recognised you as you stood with your back to me
I tried to verbalise a word for you to hear
Yet I was too hypnotised to vocalise a single sound
To call to you would send lullabies your way
It would have solemnised the moment
Pantomime like I stood stock still, not ready to eulogise.
I wanted to maximise the moment
To sacrifice the past, to address this big occasion
To strive and entice this surprise, but
I didn't call, too many butterflies interceded
My desire to shout out to the me that I
For a brief moment recognised.
