glimpse

picked up a pen

and wrote down this poem

seemed like the thing to do

you've gone a couple of days

and i wanted to fly some ink

the lights are flickering above me

so i spend half my time in shadow

today i felt so good

accounting for the margin of could

i know it's not me to cling

it's that i miss you in this physical place

the confidence that creeps up me

straightens my silver suit

and bounces up my steps

tell you you're beautiful 

i follow your eyes to your curves

your intellect to your words

maybe we could sit down and have a chat

i could be the dog chasing the cat

who did you touch today on the shoulder

listen to when they might grow older

we can meet right in the middle of care

there's no time to need only being there

when i knew nothing about you

you open the doors with baby steps

c'mon darlin give me a other glimpse

i know enough to miss you

i miss you enough to want to know you
