There You Are Poem by Ellen Ni Bheachain

As life goes on,
So, do we,
Moving, changing,
Getting to and fro as most people do,
Being here, being there,
Only wiser from knowing,
Of past to present,
All in all,
Both you and I,
Know the score,

As time goes on and we too are getting on,
In age and life,
And there you are,
Please do not go to them to enquire of me,
They just charge to your account,
And become bothersome to me,

So, there you are,
A smile crosses my face,
To know you are back to being yourself,
Same here,
I have gone full circle,
Happy now within myself,
Moving forward and content with my life,

We cannot change the past,
And think too much of what could have been,
For what happened, happened,
Neither your fault nor mine,
What happened back then,
Changed our life and us,
Now, you are going your way,
And me?
Going my way, too,

I am doing just fine,
No need to worry,
I cannot tell you,
For myself, it seems,
For we lost contact with each other,
A long time ago,

As you are so formal,
Even how you enquire,
That agency you use,
Have used me a lot,
So, save your money,
Closed that account,
They will always charge you,
And scoff at the outcome,
From the means that they charged to you,

There you are,
Here I am,
I am doing okay,
And hope you are too,
I will sometimes look at the night's sky,
The Moon and the stars shining bright,
And think of you,
Wishing you always,
A good night,
And think to myself,
"There You Are".
