People Like Me
I stand there staring as
the grandfather clock ticks.
A light breeze blows in from a window.
I can make out dots of light
across the calm river,
there must be others like me.
People who can’t sleep
when there is an empty house
sitting, waiting for them.
People who dream
that one day they will
find the love of their life.
People who wish to
never have another lonely day again.
People who hope that
one day they will achieve
all of their heart’s desires.
Never the practical ones,
the hopers,
the wishers,
the dreamers.
People like me.
