Reality Diverged

It’s been years

I miss you so much

I talk to you in my dreams

It starts out always the same

Black and white like all relationships

At that coffee shop down by the bay

Alone at a table for two in that crowed room

Music plays softly over the hum of voices

 An item here and there is in color

A photo on the wall

A place I have never been

That face in the crowd from across the room

The reflections off the windows

Colored reflections of a black and white world

Reality seeps in from time to time

Using the same excuse from a century before

Guns all loaded a war started long ago

Suits all talking and saying nothing

There we sit alone at a table for two

I remember every single word

Then nothing at all

That dream that ends for us all

It always ends the same

Everything seems to fade away

Black and white reflections of a colored world

Everything clear and in color

Except those few items in grey

That dream that starts and ends the same

It is in between that is different every time

The reality that somehow diverged
