Oh How I Had Ached For It...

I ached for it all along
But it kept slipping through
My fingers as it passed me by

I reached out to snatch it
For myself...
But was left with just a muffled cry

It was suffocating
And often I knew not
What to do

If only I could stage
My heart in the world's skies
For each and all to view

But what would they see?
A hunt for it - a selfish pursuit
That would just let her be?

All I had wanted
Was time - time to myself
So that I could be with me...

For the first time in months
Time came and stood itself
By my side...

I opened my arms
Letting it penetrate my day
With pleasure and pride...

With time to myself
I began the journey of a dream
I cuddled myself in the land of sleep...

Where the silence embraced me in its arms
While seconds, minutes and the hours waited patiently
Letting me be with me as I dug into my world so deep.
