And it won’t go away

I wipe incessantly

Twice every day

I stare at the window

Wishing it was gone

Never had I bothered

To look beyond

This house was a prison

Entrapping me

The spot on the window

Enclosed me

Staring through the glass

At that one speck of dust

And there you were

A man I could trust

A melancholy look

A saddened gleam

Staring out at the water

Across my stream

You sat there

An hour or maybe two

You never noticed

I was in front of you

You arrived every day

And each day I’d see

That same sad look

Of melancholy

Perhaps if I were brave enough

If I could just walk outside

Maybe the years

wouldn’t have passed by

The spec of dust

graced my day

I think I’d cry

if it went away

I looked out the glass

And there you were

Another sad day

across the river

Oh if I could hold you

If I could just face the world

I show you there’s hope for a man

When in the arms of a girl

There you are leaving

Cleaning your mess

Wait! Does that tag on your shirt

Say U.P.S.?

I ran through the house

 Throwing paper in a sack

Creating a package

That would be sent right back

I called your work

I set a time

You arrived to me

At five past nine

We talked a while

And I finally seen

The smile hidden

Behind that gleam

This year with you passed

As if in a whirl

You filled my life

And I braved the world

I glanced beyond the window

Where I saw you that day

Then I saw that tiny speck of dust

Fall off and fly away

I looked back into your eyes

As I said I do

You finally noticed

I was always in front of you

Standing draped in white

These vows a sign of trust

For our relationship was fated

By that single speck of dust
