Empty walls staring at me, ask me of my next move.
My red case is packed but I feel something is amiss.
I feel like an intruder stuck between uncertain times ahead,
Time slips away from under my feet and I think to myself, ignorance is bliss.
A knock on my door awakens me and I am searched by his glance.
He takes my hand, smiles at me and my thoughts take a backward prance.
Wonderful moments peeking at me, tell me to slow down.
Times past are done and its time to begin what life is worth.
A long lost story whispered in my ears and those hidden tears showed up.
But the smile assured me to take heart and pass right forth.
A door opened and I saw the dawn breaking at the horizon.
Dark clouds were set apart, times melted that were frozen.
Peering ahead over his shoulder with a twinkling in my eyes, I smiled to myself.
Path unwinding ahead was steep here and high there but appealed my soul.
I started to arrange my hold and love spilled all over the shelf.
The walk had drained us of adventure and so we decided to stroll.
Aimless amble brought us to the fountain of wonder, set above and beyond.
I remembered the case from the present, tucked this memory and knew... to each other we belong.
Keeping this thought safe with me, I started to close the door.
Walls and windows smiled down at me and I was not a stranger anymore.
The taxi was blaring the horns and yes, it was time to go.
Remember this memory, I said to him, and miss me so.
A tear accompanied the smile this time and held me tight.
He prayed as we closed our eyes and I realized I would never be really out of sight.
