If you fall...
The café was nearly
empty, a radio playing
in the background,
I was looking out
through the window,
at the grey sky.
lost in my thoughts,
absently listening
to the beautiful voice
coming from the radio.
Then the words hit me,
hard like a sudden blow:
“If you're lost you can look,
and you will find me..."
Slowly I turned towards
the radio, my heart
filled with sadness,
taking in the words.
"If you fall I will catch you...”,
I still remember the moment,
so full of love and tenderness,
when I promised you that,
using those very words,
coming from my heart.
You’re gone, I no
longer know where
to, but still I can’t
be reminded of you,
your face, your voice
without feeling sad.
“If you're lost you can look,
and you will find me”,
I whispered the words
silently, like a
solemn vow renewed,
looking at the street
outside, the rain still
falling like tears.
