After The Rain...a MIC Write #56

“May you have the hindsight to know where you've been,
The foresight to know where you are going,
And the insight to know when you have gone too far”



Would it matter if I told you
you're my bridge across troubled waters,
you're my sunshine after a long soaking rain,
or that your words caress me
where my deepest longing lies
....like a rug...your ambiance covers me
I can't let that go
...even though
you've never felt those things
I know
they are just lines
I can't sell to anyone anymore

For you... it's no longer a distant option
but for me it will always be a dream I held close
That state of regret personified
is what eats at me the most
I took the waiting
like flowers hungering for water
Famished...they withered
and just.....died

Sadness echoing across the miles
like the futile washing of cold waves
running hopelessly back to shore
Whispers spoken into ears
that just don't want to hear the rejection no more

I cannot forget you

I cannot express the surprise
of tides turning
when things didn't work out
A part of me will always remain
with you,
just as a part of you will always be
a tangible part my reality
In life
and in love,
hindsight is still 20/20 ....
even if I'm still blind

I could no more renounce your presence
than I can denounce the feelings I held at bay 
When I think of where you are
and where I am ..... I wish you wouldn't have went away
I ask myself
would I do it all again
and I answer ......

Yes!
