If I was him June 20, 2012

 


If only I was him,
 that well-meaning man,
deaf, dumb and blind to her motives,
 he can accept who she is, 
if only for the moment 
which as she points out, 
all there ever is, 
willing to suspend his disbelief
 long enough to get unbelievable joy,
 only I'm not made the way he is,
 paying too  much attention
 to what I believe goes on,
 and not accepting the god-sent
 of what is really happening.

If only I was him,

 accepting when it all 

comes together, 

not regretting when it all comes apart,

 that natural progression life 

makes us endure,

 if I was him, 

I could close my eyes, 

feel her presence,

accept her presents,

 and be grateful for

 having something I never had before,

 and never have again.

 If I was him, I'd be eternally grateful.
