A Round Tuit

I thought I had time,
Thought I had eternity in the palm
Of my hand.
But it was sand slipping through my fingers-
Quicksand that sucked me under.
Now in this lonely darkness,
I see where I fell off the path.

It was the color of your eyes,
The warmth of your soul.
It was hearing you smile
On the other end of the phone,
Feeling your arms around me from far away.
It was how you understood,
Even when you didn't,
The way you knew what I was thinking.
It was breakfst, lunch and dinner,
Dancing in our underwear in the
Filterd rays of the early morining sun
Through the windows of your room.
It was your heart imprinted on mine,
It was everything and nothing all at once.

I never told you any of this.
If God made second chances
I'd make sure I got around to it.
