Amaze me – that is all you ever do …

Amaze me – that is all you ever do …


If we embraced
I would start to cry
From a sadness
I cannot explain
And from a joy
Words cannot express
Hey friends, you can now find me on Instagram. My account name is soulconnectionpoetry
i was thinking of you – wondering where you were, how you were, what you may be doing this moment. i was thinking of all the things i would have told you – or rather, not told you, despite my longing to tell you all. and with each step i took, i came to greater and greater acceptance that today, i would not see you at all. i was thinking of you, of you, of you, and just then –
– you appeared.
deep in the forest of mistrust and pain
there rests my heart, quite lonely though safe
people attempt to find it but in vain
for they know not the way to my most sacred place
but you seemed to know the way through the forest
you took no wrong turns, and fell in no traps
when others would give up, you made it look easy
you arrived as a friend, who already knew me.
My wishes, like the sun shine bright, and make life beautiful.
My fears, like the clouds, pass over them and make them appear so distant, and unreachable.
Between you and me, there is just the most simple of things: Love.
(And I say simple, because it is easy, and natural, and ever-lasting. It is there without either one of us working at it, as if it was a fact of life, a way of being. We could never despite each other or become angry: our appreciation of one another will always be greater than any mistake we might make.)
There is something so special and so meaningful about being in your presence. I cannot help but think our paths were meant to cross. You are a kindred spirit: somewhere very far we are very close. I am sure I know the inner workings of your mind, and you hold no mystery to me. I know you — and I love you.
In this dark and dull sky, you shine as bright as all small stars put together. You are unlike any other, you are one in a million. And I am so lucky to have you in my sky.
On this day, I would have walked up to the building with a light bounce in my step, checking my reflection in the full-length windows as I went along. I would have been smiling though trying hard not to smile too much, or else it might give others the impression that I sorely love work. My heart would have been pumping slightly more powerfully than usual, as if wanting to escape its enclosure in my chest.
After stepping through the door, my eyes would have darted (quite automatically and unconsciously) to that corner of the room where your desk resides. I would have seen the back of you, and feel happiness at knowing your presence here today. I would then have gone on to my duties, anticipating the delightful moment when you and I would finally speak to one another.
Coming back down the stairs I would have wondered if after all I would get to talk with you today, and would have started feeling disappointed at the possibility of this occurring. But lo and behold, just this moment you would have appeared, with your folders and leather-bound case under one arm. My face would have brightened instantly despite my conscious attempts to conceal my joy.
“How are you?” You would have asked, smiling back at me.
“I am – happy to see you,” I would have breathed out, and realising how much feeling this simple statement revealed, would have added quickly, “but I need to get going.”
No hard feeling would have shown upon your face; you would only have smiled again.
“Have a good day, then,” you would have said.
“Thank you. You too!”
We would have parted ways, and I would have made my way home, unable to wipe the love-sick grin off my face, and feeling my heart expand to new limits with the contentment and joy of seeing and interacting with a most beloved human being.
To have one friend in the whole world makes a world of difference …
