Until we reunite

A favor for a favor, let’s meet tonight,

Let’s let our love collide, let’s ignite.

I need to feel something lost in time,

A spark, a fire, a fleeting rhyme.

I’ll write about you, in ink so tight,

Tonight and every night, until we reunite.

Flowers in hand

There’s nothing I’d love more than your voice’s sound,

A whisper, a word, where hope is found.

Just tell me where, and tell me when,

I’d bring flowers in hand to see you again.

We’d meet as planned, just one more vow,

Please hold on—don’t leave me now.

Please hold on

When you’ve had one parent your whole life through,

You’ve had a hero, strong and true.

A survivor of loss, who carried the weight,

Who pushed me forward to shape my fate.

But I’m not there yet; there’s more to see,

So much left of who I’ll be.

I dream of the day your pride will gleam,

Please hold on; don’t leave this dream.

I don’t want to forget.

The thing is, I don’t want to forget,

You’re not gone, but the edges blur yet.

My memory’s fickle, it holds only a few,

But I’d fight the haze just to hold onto you.

I reach for the shadows, a light I refuse to lose,

I don’t want to forget, I don’t want to ever lose you.

The hero I knew

Watching them fade, like time’s quiet theft,

A shadow remains of what memory left.

The hero you knew, now a stranger to see,

A grief unspoken, yet heavy to be.

No one prepared for this silent ache,

A child’s perception time chose to break.

A love once known

Settling for the ghost of a love once known,

Is a battle fought in a space alone.

To see they’re not who they used to be,

Breaks the heart in its silent plea.

But goodbye feels like a heavy chain,

I’m not yet ready to bear that pain.

Right person, wrong time…

Right person, wrong time, a bittersweet find,

A rainbow that’s hidden where storm clouds align.

You cherish its glow, though the storm still stays,

And quietly hope for brighter days.

Through your lens

If I could see myself through your lens,

Would I be more than just pretend?

Could I stand out as someone dear,

Or fade away, unseen, unclear?

Am I a thought that sparks a smile,

A friend you’d keep around awhile?

Or just a passing face in time,

A nameless soul you leave behind?
