Do You Remember

When the light was shining on us

& spirit moved me

to comfort you?

We walked in step

with heads together

amid sparkling leaves.

My face was flushed from the adventure.

You left me with a kiss

on my cheek

& I left you

a piece of my heart

without even

knowing it.

I remember.

Hello, Goodbye

So here you are

and there you go.

You don't owe me anything

but I owe you miles of journey.

Last night I dreamed of you

telling me

the things I would least

like to hear:

"It's over."

Before it's even begun,

and how can it?

The flight tickets

were already bought

before we connected.

I am doing my best

to stay with

a healthy state of mind

but hormones have been

unleashed in my system

and the chemicals are

reeking havic.

I know

how precious

a moment is,

so I steel myself

with this truth.

Confidence responded first

even though she didn't

hear the question

all the way through.

Melancholy has raised her hand

knowing cold answers.

I thought

I'd grown up by now,

but I'm still

a princess in her tower

waiting for her knight

to come and rescue her.

No Holds

I watch from outer space

you found love again

but of course you would

you live for love

and believe in it with force.

You believe in love

so much you took a stand

and wouldn't live without it.

I have admired and was lucky enough

to enjoy your determination

to have it.

You have met someone,

someone that I know could not have been me

there was no way

but yet I still find myself

wishing

I wasn't the only one of us

still yearning for someone to hold.
