It’s just a moment
One second or two
Just for me
to look at you
To watch your face
See your eyes
To remember why
I’m in love with you

All This Time
Spending my life
Listening for that
One heartbeat
That matched mine
I could not hear it
Though you were by my side
All this time
An excerpt from “Under the Tree” by Tracy Meyerhofer
To the Moon and Back
I’d travel to the moon and back
To watch you wake at dawn
To see you cuddle in our blankets
To rumple up your hair
But time can’t change the craters
The endless tears or scars
The void that stands between us
The emptiness we share
The Habit
I never said I love you
Intentions lost in time
Opportunities wasted
Instead you should be mine
I saw you at the station
The habit on your head
Now you live a different life
I walked away, respect
Struggle
I see your struggle
Beneath the facade
The hidden fears
Empty solitudes
The quest for peace
But it’s all an illusion
Of your own device
