Right Then
It was the first time I saw you
in a towel
straight out of the shower
emerging to lay on the bed
beside me
to be all mine.
Right then
there were no worries
no running on the treadmill
to try finishing a race
that doesn't end
no balancing
wobbling to and fro
teetering back and forth
on the edges
on the verge of falling off
the face of the
love or the pain
the sun or the rain
the safety or the danger
the friend or the stranger
the peace or the war
right then, I knew what for
you were everything
that was in tune
with everything
I knew to be-
what it is to live in a perfect world
so I live for the right thens
of you and me.
