Potential
Potential was what I thought
That first time
When I first laid my eyes upon you
So much potential
Indeed
-
Time hasn’t been kind
We are ghosts
Lightyears from the ones we used to be
But still I see the man
I fell in love with
Resting easy
Within you
Your eyes tell me everything
Even if the years have passed
We are still the same standing
Standing before each other
One trembling sigh apart
Millions of breaths away
Everything and nothing
We are still us
Us together
You and me
Old and older
Young and younger
The same
The same as before
Another life ago
We have changed
And we haven’t at all
You are still the one
The only one for me
And I am the one for you
Still the only one for you
The same one you once fell in love with
On a ballroom floor
Many years ago
You see it in my eyes
As I see it in yours
We are resting
Safely
Within
Waiting
