I see now that it was never about meeting someone’s gaze or falling in love, Of finding happiness in another It simply is to be To remember how we felt as children Before societal conditioning set in The feeling of being in awe of the simple pleasures of life All I wish for today Is to feel the warmth of the sun on my face To hear the wind blow through the trees & plant my bare feet on the grass As many times as I possibly can Before I too must return And I am but a memory Found in time
