When life gives you lemons...?

If you haven't noticed by now, most of my poems coincide with what's going on in my life at that moment. Guess we'll see where this goes. Sometimes life gives you opportunities and feelings and experiences you never thought would be.

What if You’d Never Left?

July 2013

It’s been so long since I’ve seen you.

Crazy how we can pick up where we left off,
That we can be as we once were,
When years have passed and things have changed.

It’s like it was only yesterday

We were joking and teasing and laughing;
Like it was only the day before,
That I set eyes on you for the first time.

It’s like nothing’s changed, you’d never gone away;

You’d never moved on to a different life;
Never made yourself into something more.
A man with a future and somewhere to go.

It’s like our lives never parted,

That you’ve been here all along;
Like you’d stood by my side when things went wrong.
Somehow, you and I stayed strong.

It’s like you came back

Because you were tethered
To the life we almost had;
To a life we could have now.
