Second Look

Take a second
to realize where you've went wrong,
go back and fix it, repeat as needed.

Take a second
to materialize the perfection
that you've always dreamed of,
close your eyes
and envision that smile
you've yet to see.

Take a second
to figure out just why goodbyes are so hard,
but you never have to say it,
those tears speak volumes.

Take a second
to see that solid smile fall to pieces,
when it comes back,
let it be
for a damn good reason.

Take a second
to step away from the world,
and see things
from a different set of eyes,
enlighten your mind
and when you finally find
what you've been looking for,
breathe deep, and...

Take a second
to let it all sink in.
