Did You Hear?

It’s been awhile since we last spoke

But not so long, as things go

Did you hear that I scaled a mountain?

No. I’m sure you didn’t know

It feels like ages since I saw your face

Then again, only yesterday

Did you hear that I broke the record?

No.  I’m sure not yet today

My hair has grown three inches

My smile is almost right

The scars that I have caused

Are healing up quite nice

There are cobwebs on the game boards

And dust upon the shelves

As if people left a living place

Running to save themselves

It’s been awhile since we called our names

But not so long, as time drifts past

Did you hear that I won the whole thing?

No.  I’m sure you haven’t asked

It feels like ages since we laughed together

Then again, a slight moment in time

Did you hear that I climbed the ladder?

No.  I’m sure you’re doing fine

My hair has grown three inches

My smile is almost right

The scars that I have caused

Are healing up quite nice

There are cobwebs on the game boards

And dust upon the shelves

As if people left a living place

Running to save themselves
