If You Could See Me Now
The old days came back to mind,
when we first met
the awkwardness that was
before it slid to friendship, love, companionship
to today
when your are no longer here,
time passes too quickly
in its loneliness without you
it passes too slowly.
If you could see me now
I'm older, grayer, with wrinkled brow
still moody, writing poetry
more for me than you
holding onto the old memories
reminiscing all that could have been
if only, oh the if onlys remain
if we had more time
but here I am, still missing you
after all these years.
A dream or two
that's all I ask
you hear you sleeping in the night,
to see that unforgettable smile,
hear the laughter that you shared
the silly giggles and joy
of just being together,
walk with me in the midnight hours
let me know, you see me now.
