so far from the ocean, but always so near the shore, only letting toes, tip toe around the waves, watching the uncertainties of others, pass by in each moment, and each moment you're there, you see everyone else and their others, gleaming in the sunshine, smiling back and forth, laughing, playing, surfing the waves as confidently or as timidly, as the waves will allow, nearing the sunset, you walk, right, past it, as if it wasn't even there!
she knew, she knew it when she saw you, but you couldn't even raise your head and smile, and you just kept walking, walking, walking, away....
further and further from the truth, as if you'd ever wanted to really know it, as you claimed to for so long, the truth of love is in each of us,
but there are many more, as well...
