Free online photo that caught my thoughts. At one time or another in a brief life
Love is deliberately missed when it is near
I have no answers as I age
And bend out of my today
But after-all is said and done, in the end,
It’s easier to walk away
Down a quiet street
Than to go toward another
Who is still with another but lost
It has to be kept to a sweet stare
It makes it easier to walk away
After a hug good-bye until next time
When her desert winds blow toward me
And I heard her heartbeat crashing
Against her chest bone for him
Our nearness had to pass us by
Less complicated to simply
Smile deeply
Breathe deeply
Pine deeply-briefly
And on a moonless night
Calm comes in darkness
Until I caught the light in her stare
As she twirled in her long skirt
And she flirted with a grin
As that song played in the background
A message
That I tried to ignore
As I not so easily said goodnight
Again, and again
After-all, in the living moment of now memory
Even though we fit, kinder to have played the fool
When so near to her
Than to be cruel to who was her then other
Even though he had been cruel to her
I knew the deeper wants of her
That he forgot to appreciate
But in the end she had to set herself free,
It was not for me to do...and one day
I heard she did.
