I came back hoping
you were still searching.
We missed each other just by a hair.
What I said to you
took me by surprise,
to be so open and comfortable.
I think, though,
it didn't mean the same to you,
for you continued with your reasons,
the expectations and how
you were looking
and what you wanted,
not really who.
Is that the difference
between a man and a woman
or a difference in youth and maturing?
And when it all stops,
the hustle and bustle,
in that quiet moment,
how much will it matter
that you played with your toys
til you died?
Who will care
that you have climbed the mountains,
loved all the animals,
voted for
the perfect person?
When you look across the horizon,
will it matter?
Can two walk together if they disagree?
I came back,
sorry we missed
what should be important.
