Perfect Spot

----*----

It's been months waiting and hoping, since all of this started,

quietly sitting on the side, watching you running uncharted.

I never asked, out of respect, but I was dying to discern

those deep reasons to relinquish dreams and hopes, out of concern.

----*----

My mistake was to maintain the same dull posture all this time,

never shifting my attention, but observing from outside.

When I placed myself correctly, and found your comforting zone

all the signs were comprehensible, clearly written in stone.

----*----

I heard your voice like the first time, and your chant was clear as day,

I observed and admired, most of my fears running away.

As I was trying to form part of your deepest ghouls and creatures,

I forgot how "double-sided" is one of your best and lovely features.

----*----

Isn't it so freaking truly amazing how we can lose focus and attention?

When we read the signs inverted, they do lose their main intention.

I will be permanently and surely invested, while recouping takes its toll,

sipping beer while I re-read the lighted sign that makes me whole.

----*----
