i looked you up

i looked you up
since it had been years
since we'd last spoken

though you'd been there
my entire life
it was time we met again

i looked up to you
all those years ago
the way you'd lie

out in the sunlight
or under the stars
rapt with joy and wonder

or stand at the window
watching the lightning
in an evening summer storm

hands clasping as thunder
cracked open the heavens
you've been there all along

in the shadow of my ego
that altar of self
out of sight and mind

i looked you up
but found the wrong address
i'd just missed you again.
