For an instant
A fleeting instant
I saw your soul
It smiled at me
But its smile was sad
Full of love and loss and heartache
Looking lost and lonely
Injured and in pain
For an instant
A fleeting instant
I wanted to reach out
Merge my soul with yours
Take away the pain the sorrow
Make your smile bright again
Show you that you are not alone
That your loss is also your gain
For an instant
A fleeting instant
Time stood still
You knew my intentions
I saw it in your eyes
But you withdrew
To irretrievable depths
Hiding from me
For an instant
A fleeting instant
Anything was possible
But nothing came of it
I paused, perhaps too long
Lost my step, faltered, blinked
But life is full of instances.
Next time I will be stronger
