There you are
looking so much better up close-
than I imagined from a distance,
I needed to see you
to better understand the hype
thoughts of you have been consistent,
maybe it’s a sign
hearing you in everyone’s dialogue
your name is quite persistent,
being locked away for years
if I met you
wondering if my life would be different,
I suppose that you’re like most
and rather experience connections near you
probably not liking the distance,
but image to be honest with you
after seeing so many of the same faces
I’m ready willing and wanting our visit,
hopefully I’d handle the pressure well
raw beauty is hard to confront
especially when it exceeds what I’ve envisioned,
but I want you in your fullness
and every promise I’m told that accompanies you
pronounced without any inhibitions nor limits,
I admit I was a critic
a cynic in wake of crickets, but I get it
your name is Chance, and all I ask for is a minute
