One Sure Thing

My heart stood still today.
I saw you across the way
and silence interrupted
the progressive beats.

You were right when
you said our worlds
have collided, melded
and spilled over
into each other.

Agreeing with you is easy.
Time and relationships
have taught me that
this is not such a simple truth.

My heart skipped a beat today.
I saw you across the way
and you were running toward me,
sun and smile on your face.

You were right when
you said the "missing part"
would be hard and that
the "loving you" part was easy.


I have heard the words and
felt the colors of loneliness.
I know them.
I have seen the brilliance of joy
and smelled the rush of love.
I know them now.

I am no longer lonely
for I have found my missing piece.
I wasn't even looking,
I was running..., away.
You say happiness is for us...

And I say,
Agreeing with you is easy.
It's one sure thing...
