Halfway
I may live far away
but it is not impossibly far away.
It may seem I am busy
but I am not impossibly busy.
It may seem that we have
totally different lives
with nothing much in common
but people are always more the same than not.
Now I don’t expect you
to take the time
to drive all that way
to visit me at all
ever.
I would never suppose
that you would stop
to ever see about me
in person or anything.
Nor do I imagine
or dare to dream
that you would get on a plane
to swing by for just a day or two.
I know
that I will do all the driving
every time
do all the accommodating
and taking time off
just the same
as always.
It would however
be rather nice
to have you change your plans
maybe alter just a thing or two
to make an effort
every once in a while
to at least
meet me
halfway.
