I thought I caught a glimpse
Of you
On my horizon
Like the early morning mist
On a quiet sea
Illusionary hope
I told myself
Foolish dreams, I shouldn't hope.
Like sweet smelling sunshine
I saw you come so close
And I dare not break
The silence I imposed
For if I spoke
The dreams could fail
And I could lose
What little remained
But I watched and tried
Not to hope.
Til you caught glimpse
And smiled my way
I trembled in fear
Of what you might say
I worried and fret
As you made your way
Across the room
And over to me
I waited and saw
With each nearer step
You cast upon me
A shadow of hope.
And how did we act
Like two familiar strangers
Falling back into a rhythm
I'd missed so much
You made me dance
And sing and laugh
You gave wing
Once more to hope.
Not the shallows
Of what is not
But of the simple pleasures
Of being
Of friendship beginng
Perhaps anew
No expectations
No demands
Just this moment
Me with you.
