Prior To An Exit ~
by Wade Ryan

Under an extensive sky.
With a realization of who I am.
And a dream of who I want to be.

Would it be out of context?
To say that I wanted you here with me?
Because I can’t become him without you.

It’s taken me a while.
And it was a long walk home.
The places you must go to find ones self.

But this icy juncture is starting to thaw.
I’ve found some ground finally planted beneath my feet.
With the thought of you tonight,
Tomorrow is not so far off.

So tonight look at the stars.
Know that the connection you feel is me.
Reach your hand up and touch the heavens.

One day, the present will be ours.
As soon as I find myself.
