the meet up

 

it's quiet in here
and cold
the lights are so dim

looking around
I see so many versions
of myself
from so different times
of my life

preteen me
teenage me
and young adult me

all so different
but the way in a sad way
a way I'm not fond of

we sat in a grey room
not speaking
but screaming nonetheless

didn't even take long to realize
why we were gathered
all looking
looking

looking

for love
we all want love
pure true love
unconditional
undeniable

Love

where have you been all my life
I'm met so many imposters
so many in disguise

but where are you?
did I miss you?
was I not paying attention?
are you even in this room?

come find me
maybe that's the issue
maybe I should be still
and wait on you

maybe I met you in a fleeting moment
and didn't even realize

looking back
maybe I never knew you at all
