Thirty Seconds

My perception’s honest,
As instantly you appear,
In this forgotten memory,
Time’s not wasted on fear,
Embrace is still too early,
Yet to hug is far too late,
For if time has taught me wisely,
I know it will never wait,
Regrets seem obsolete,
When I see your face,
So many wasted hours,
Just to find this place,
Your eyes are tired of worry,
And your face lets wrinkles leave,
There’s no meaning to this chance,
Even now nothing to achieve,
Acceptance is too gentle,
Relief is far too strong,
Just somewhere in the middle,
Is right where we belong,
Its a welcome palpitation,
That’s gone before you know,
Seconds stand like hours,
With not a thing to show,
A touch could spark a heartbeat,
Bring life back to this soul,
If I had one to begin with,
You could definitely fill this hole,
But unconditional became conditional,
Too many echoes to excuse,
Yet to judge you on that is past love,
So old friend I must refuse,
The odds of meeting you here,
Were really a trillion to one,
Its funny you think something’s ended,
To find it has only begun,
Thirty seconds to solve a riddle,
This was never meant for you,
I cant explain the feeling,
But I know you feel it too,
Left to smile together,
Still a million miles apart,
Sensing words I cant articulate,
I know I wont allow to start,
A smile is all I offer,
Unsentimental in my grace,
Its ok inside though,
I always knew my place,
But that’s another lifetime,
This one is simply on loan ,
Time is yet my teacher,
I‘m still a rolling stone,
In place of greater meaning,
Detached and self-assured,
In the space of thirty seconds,
I do believe that I am cured.
