Where Am I...

Where am I? In this sea of people, a face I miss I see not, a name I know I find not, a voice I yearn I hear not…

Where was I when just a year or two ago, everything seemed joyous, and all was well? When the illusion of reality had pulled a veil of happiness over the eyes. For when you were needed, you were just a shout away. When you were missed, you were just a step away. When you were not there, you were just a comforting lunch-hour away.

Where am I? Lost in the silence of rampant chaos… I remember no day pulling us apart, no night we stayed apart. No hours and miles between us. No months and no missed calls, just us…

There was but one missing then, but who was to know that having that one would pull away all else? And now, I am here… Where there is joy, and there is sadness… There are days filled with love, and there is a heart filled with longing… There is beautiful company for whenever I want it, there is emptiness whenever I need it…

I wish you well, I wish you peace, I bless you with happiness and for me a nephew and a niece…
I wish you joy and laughter and fights you may win, I bless all the flavors of life for you and your kin…
I wish upon you many surprises, many delights, a bliss, a contentment, yet a spark of spice…

For you, my dear, will always be ever so special, and from within you there will be always a light shining bright, so exceptional…
