You were there...

In those endless days of struggle
And the nights that followed.
In every cigarette butt that went perished
And the pouring wine with a muffled guggle.
You were there.

In poems written and torn,
Screaming to be read and sung
In intoxicated dreams which failed the sun.
And the solitary walk of misery and mourn.
You were there.

In the clock you gifted,
Which stopped at twelve and remained.
Pleading to wake up and call.
The number familiar, I failed to recall.
You were there.

In every pony she sports,
The lady by that store.
And the theatre seat, they make love.
Pledging to share life and abode.
You were there.

In tears defeated by wind ,
And thoughts, almost decayed.
In sea that restores abrupt silence.
Heart dares to believe,
You were there...
