After seeking for so long —
him, or
you to be the One
You smiled when he smiled,
so Eager —
To celebrate
Uplift
Uphold
The unremarkable little details of your life
And
make them shine
and glisten and glow
for All the world to see.
But with every refraction, you wonder
When the truth became so unfamiliar
Unrecognizable
Untouchable yet untenable.
Blurred Beyond distinction
A mess in its pristine condition
The harder you look,
The more you want to
Look away —
To unfold the picture
From Reality
And find the meaning
in the Creases.
To Behold and
To Be Held are Two
Completely different
Things.
