Just one step and…gone

Maybe in an instant

Maybe after a few minutes

Gone

Maybe it will be like the movies

My own home with daisies and fireflies

Sunflowers and dandelions

Huge dandelions that just fly all around me in a field

There would be an ocean with a beautiful sky and perfect warm sand

I can smell the sea breeze and my favorite vanilla perfume

Then the sun will set and I can see thousands of stars

They will all sleep with smiles

And I can sleep and dream of the light that peeks behind trees

Maybe

With that one step, I can have that perfect place.

But when the sun rises

I’ll be alone

It won’t be perfect because you can’t be there

It could just be a dark place if I took that step

And if I was gone
