A Moment

I wish you could be me for a moment.

See the world through my eyes.

I’m struggling and failing like everyone else .

And when home, I hold back my cries.

I took a deep breathe for a moment

And somehow I learned how to fly .

And then, looking back in an instant,

My wings tore with a sudden goodbye .

I lay sinking in that very moment .

And wondered what I did wrong .

Hoping and praying I could change course

And prove everything with a song .

But no song came to me in that moment .

Only silence. So deadly still .

I took another breathe for a moment ...

And accepted if that was your will .

So I sat in my sorrow a moment .

Afraid. Crying out for a sound

That could tell me just what I had witnessed ...

Enough to prove you still around .

And then within a new moment ,

You piped up and reached out your hand .

But I watch as the porcelain crumbled

And my heart could not let it command .

I braced myself back in the moment

And waited to see if t'were real

That you wanted to try and return to a time

When we both knew how each other feels .

And within that very same moment ,

A light came on in my heart

To warm up the pieces and bring them together

And hope that they never will part .

But my heart still gets scared in a moment ,

As I pass people there on the street .

I swear I see you in ever face .

And hope that someday we'll meet .

I stand and I wait in a moment .

Hoping that one day I’ll see

You standing tall with my hand, after all ,

Once again there beside me .
