I see you

I see you on my window pane every night

Without fail you appear to wish me night

You’re like that tiny spot on a bare white wall

Annoying to the one who’s aware of it

I am the one aware of you – always

You remind me of things I had forgotten to live by

Offer my soul a warmth that I miss

You are in my actions, never to leave

But why you appear only to me

So much is unsaid yet understood

I see you - and the times slip away from my hand

What’s the hurry I ask – and you blink

You disappear with the first ray of sun

Yet I see your breath marks on my window

I am losing myself to you – slipping deep

Like quicksand – you engulf me whole

But it’s not suffocating as I had thought

I am free soul now – I see you eye to eye now.
