The time it took to where I saw the first light, was the same when I saw sparks in your eyes. Fireworks exploded in the distance from where you stood, waiting, longing, for her to come home. I stared at the scene transpiring, wishing, hopeful, for my presence be hidden, lest it be made known to you. I found solace in my words, writing down what could have been, if only I answered your call, if only I saw your signs.
