All I Found

I gathered all my things and gave them to friends or handed them to charity. I no longer had material possessions to hold me down.

I climbed into the rocket ship and blasted myself into space.

The harsh reality hit me: It is dark and cold in space

..and lonely.

I had once looked to the skies for remedy of a weary soul. It is in the silent stars that I took to peace. It is now, amongst the stars that I look down on earth with the same effect.

I had something I had to do.

I traveled the cosmos with only my thoughts to keep company. I would count meteors as I passed but that quickly became boring.

All time washed away, it meant nothing now.

Then, as if fate would have it I came about something of quite some interest. There was something else out there.

I opened up my pod and drifted over, all I found was you.

You were sleeping ever so peacefully. I could not wake you. I wanted to hold your hand but could not all I can do is wait for you to wake up.

Time came back to me. It suddenly hit me with a longing for a future. A time where you would wake up to find me by your side.

So while you drift ever so complacent in your dreams, I too drift alongside in time and space.

Waiting for you to wake up.
