i didn't find a coin that day

some whole days or plenty of hours or for a few minutes
blue is just my favorite color, the sky, the water
and green is your favorite color, the trees, the grass


and i exist in a world
where you and i are possible
and sitting next to you is where i'm found
listening attentively to discover more of you
and every thought you say seems to soothe
the empty spaces of me
and now this place will mean something more
than just beautiful scenery.

but some whole days or plenty of hours or for a few minutes
blue is how i feel and all i see is black and white
and i'm searching desperately for gray


and i exist in a world
where all i have are stolen moments
and stolen words and if we strip away all the feelings
and just look at where you are
and where i'm standing and how it's still too far
it becomes very hard to enjoy what is good in front of me
because i'm still thinking of how it's not enough.

but i'm still reaching out for you
and i have to believe that you are too
and i need your help to see me through
in this race of time, of chance, of circumstance
i'm battling my highs and lows
i'm nervously awaiting to see
who will make the finish line first
my limitations or you
.

i'm fighting because i want to know
what really makes you smile on the inside
and what makes you laugh out loud
and what it is that you find in me that doesn't
let you go

and even though i didn't find a coin that day
to toss into the water
i knew that where i stood there have been
many wishes made



i'll
make
a
wish
for
you



and
hope
that
it
comes
true









and many have come true.
i was standing next to you
and so that day was my living proof.
