Somewhere on the Other Side

Somewhere on the other side

Of this sequined glass

You are there

As moments comb the air

And hours pass

Turning half-breaths to years

In the exchange of smiles and tears

Falling in between

What now is

And what once had been

We are masters of nothing

But thought and its repercussion

As longing and love collide

And somewhere on the other side

Of this bejeweled pane

You look out to see

Your portion of the rain

Disguised as weather

Streetlamps do not care

If we are apart or together
