ephemeral

to my surprise

i have been searching
i have been scanning
i have been screaming out
for you to find me
in the loneliness
in the silence
in the dark lighting of parties
in the drunken night
when i have nothing left to say
in the shadows
of street corners by day
and in the ever steady flow
of streetlights by night
i would pray i'd find you.
and to my surprise
you were right there
in front of me all along.
