Somewhere in Between

There was a time

When I couldn’t see the good

My focus was only on the bad

We had a time

That in my eyes

Weren’t just bad

But downright ugly.

I lost sight of you

In those moments

We were losing us and you didn’t even know.

Over time

You never lost focus

Your eyes never lost sight of the good

But I had

And I ran away

Pushed you away

And cast you aside

I didn’t want to hold on to it

I didn’t want to hold on to you

But I never stopped

My heart never really let you go

I had lost us and you were forced to move on without me.

As time passed on

Love had its way of eluding me

But in due time

Love had its way of showing up

And what I found

Was and has been ….. You

The man that I want

The things that I want

The ways that make you

Distinctly . . . . You.

I was found in the moments of our rekindled love.

Now it seems that you focus on my faults

You hold me accountable for the time lost

You see where I went wrong once before

And you remind me of them

Every time my actions take you to that time

Will we be forced to lose us in the memories of what once was?
