I saw you standing
Across the glass
In the same street
But another weather
The light around you
Did not know me
It held your shoulders
Like a new room
I could have lifted
One small hand
Could have made
The old shape happen
But something quiet
In the distance
Told me not
To cross that line
You did not vanish
You did not run
You only moved
Where I could not follow
And I was left
With open eyes
Learning the edge
Of what was over
I can see the light
But I will not cross
Some doors stay open
Only from far off
I can name the street
And not belong
I can hold my breath
And let you go on
If peace has found you
Past my reach
I will not turn
That peace toward me
Your morning carries
Another sound
A name I do not know
Inside the room
The window warms
A different table
A different coat
Against the chair
Nothing was stolen
Nothing was cruel
Life simply widened
Past my hands
I stood there watching
Like a shoreline
That remembers
Being crossed
I wanted distance
To mean a mile
Something a train
Could undo
But you were nearer
Than my sorrow
And still beyond
What I could touch
I can see the light
But I will not cross
Some doors stay open
Only from far off
I can name the street
And not belong
I can hold my breath
And let you go on
If peace has found you
Past my reach
I will not turn
That peace toward me
You did not leave
You crossed
There is a mercy
In saying it right
I was still calling
From the near side
To a life
That had changed its shore
I do not blame
The river now
For carrying
Your name away
Some loves remain
On opposite banks
And learn to wave
Without a claim
I can see the light
But I will not cross
Some doors stay open
Only from far off
I can name the street
And not belong
I can hold my breath
And let you go on
I was still reaching
Through the air
You were already
Over there
If peace has found you
Past my reach
I will not turn
That peace toward me
