A poem written in a few minutes for my WAW. No idea which forum this should be on - if any!
In this instant
You could be here warm in my arms instead of alone on the end of a couch. You could be talking to me instead of listening to others. You could be doing what you want instead of being told what to do. You could be laughing with friends instead of them listening to your sadness. You could be warm in our bed instead of alone in yours and cold. You could be waking up to a smile instead of looking in the mirror and wondering if this day will ever end. You could be helping where you can in your own home instead of feeling you need to repay a debt. You could put a smile on peoples faces instead of a frown of concern. You could be watching rugby and cricket instead if football! You could be on the Internet instead of stuck in the dark. You could enjoy a rainbow instead of wishing the rain would end. You could listen to gentle snoring instead of wondering why it was so quiet! You could listen to sad music with a smile instead of thinking it was written about you. You could be using the phone instead of waiting for a call. You could be looking forward to arriving home instead of dreading the arrival at someone elses. You could be driving our car instead of waiting for a lift. You could be making love instead of wondering if you'll ever find it again. And you could see the love in my eyes instead of nothing you see now. You could choose to stay and make a difference instead of feeling forced away. You could choose to cry tears of joy instead of tears of hurt.
You could change all of this in the blink of an eye or the flap of a butterfly wing if you choose.
Listen to your heart and friends. You have so many that you don't listen to but instead you talk at them about things past.
