For years the landscape has remained the same
although this all started with a drastic change
a move to a new location and a budding friendship that began
realizing there was more to it than we could understand
stopping ourselves from going too far
as we both had commitments, we put a top on that jar
although I feel as if yours exploded at one point
I paused too long, missed capitalizing on the moment
my jar shattered and I was left alone in the thoughts
even now this is a dance I want to stop
purely the back and forth and missed timings
rather I want to start a new dance, where we are in sync and gliding
and flying higher and higher as we explore this new space
despite all this time, I still remember our one kiss, a brief taste
I wonder if you remember, if you think about us
what possibilities it could be or are those ideas just dust
the dust in the wind blowing away over the top of our foundation
too much distance, too much time, missed opportunity
plenty of intention and abundance of ability
