There are times
She looks at me
with eyes unclouded
and just a slight smile
hovering behind her lips
There are seconds
She laughs
freeing tiny joys into
the atmosphere
letting a few settle
upon my soul
There are instants
She drops the walls
that betrayal built
and I can almost
touch her again
There are moments
She forgets what’s been
and allows me a brief
entrance
into her life
Which are all I wait for now
