You’d catch me staring into nothingness
You’d watch me for a while
You wouldn’t disturb me
You'd allow me to be with myself -
And my thoughts -
And my nothingness
You’d watch me
You’d think to yourself “is he thinking of me?”
You’d think to yourself “is he thinking of us?”
You’d hope that I was thinking of forever;
Our forever
You’d watch me
You’d wish you could join me -
In my nothingness
You’d hold out your hand to touch mines
You’d want us to stand in silence
And to gaze out upon the forever we created
You’d watch me be happy
Even if it meant that you weren’t.
