#25

as i walk by i can feel your shadow upon me
yet you never join me
it feels like it was by accident
the day i am graced by your prensence will be grand
to have you walk besides me step by step
breathing the same air and talking to and fro
i long for your companionship and friendship
to join my path of comfort would be refreshing
so i can share with you my joy and peace
yet it feels like it was by accident
to feel your shadow upon me
to smell your perfume
and to have it all disappear as fast as it appeared
hopefully someday you will become a reality
and not just a wishful part of my imagination
and we can walk through this life together
sharing words and glances
and the occasional smile
