there was nothing
substantial in you
you were quite there
but never quite, too
like shadows at day
when someone passes by
you solidify
you were there
and you weren’t
at the same time.
there were times
when i thought
i could hold you
when i thought
i already had you
but thoughts
aren’t always real
and what is real
aren’t really
thought of.

i think everyone has a moment that changes their lives forever. there's a life before that and the life after.
