5 Centimeters per second

In a small puddle of water
flowing like a river,
I see a reflection
of our past together.

There a flower
sits alone. Its scent, lingers,
While swaying in this dream
where I could hold you
forever.

At times, I feel
I'm not complete,
Bound by fence
I cannot see.
Yet there’s a path
where we will meet,
A journey set
for you and me.

You are all I truly need,

Come back to me, I plead.

To ease this ache where I stand,

I reach out, hand in hand.

In this life, though you're away,

Is this the only way?

These metaphors you hide within, 
Reach me now like whispers thin. 
I could even twist this one you've spun, 
Turn it back, and make it:
Three.. two.. one!


Is this the only way? 

In this life, though you're away, 

I reach out, hand in hand, 

To ease this ache where I stand.

Come back to me, I plead, 

You are all I truly need.
