The Same Path

The Same Path

Love the thought of our words
walking the same path,
even if our lives never will.
You’ve been a part of me
Since the moment
your words came in and
found a home in my heart.
They’ve penetrated my life
Taking complete hold of who I am.
You leave me nothing but
silent moments of longing.
Our worlds collide constantly.
Like crashing waves,
But subside when they reach shore.
I try calling them in,
Beckoning and sometimes
Begging,
But it is to no avail.
Your life belongs to you,
And I stand here
opposite your world,
peaking in,
at arms distance.
Feeling you so close
but never in my grasp.
Always longing
for the moment
you will notice me here.
I await.
This is my destiny,
to be the other side of your words,
but never the center of your life.
We walk the same path,
but only from a distance.
