The Seen and the Unseen

The Seen and the Unseen

I can see you but you don’t see me

You’re always looking around but not at me

I’m waiting here for you to find me

But will you find me in time?

Time’s stolen like a thief

Never returned, always mourned

You’re wasting our time by not truly searching

You’re wasting my time by not really looking

You never saw me around, only in your dreams

I am the epitome of all your hopes and fears

You hope to find me, but never really look

You fear that I am only a dream

My hope is that you will find me

My fear is that you won’t

You dream of me and I of you but the real question here is

Am I real enough for you to find me?
