It’s Not The Mile, It’s The Smile

Life goes by and hardly a moment to stop and say hi.

I breathe, I spit. I stand I sit

and not a chance to really ever give a shit.

Complications and obligations rush all around

Drowning out the sound

of the life that’s abound.

And still I wonder where the time goes?

What I did and what I chose?

Where I went in such a rush?

Doesn’t seem like it added up to all that much.

And then I see your eyes

and I touch your hand

We create a new moment

That helps to understand.

It’s now that matters,

not back then.

It’s the fact we’re together

Now, not when.

It’s your breath on my cheek

And the timber of your speak.

Or the way you smile as I guile at the length of our mile.

I say now thank you for the gift of you.

Our lives shared are what’s true.

And when I think of others like you

Believe me when I say

They are few.
