dear you…love me 1 year, 2 months ago march 1st.
-
i have done for you what i could. your beauty was lost in quivering exhalations, throat bared to the sky. you were always the kind to breath deeply. (i only did when i cried, we were different like that–)
-
-the trees look no less naked than they did three months ago. the air is still cold.
-my alarm clock stopped working last week and i don’t remember how to wake up on my own anymore.
-my sketchbook stays a veneration to the curve of your spine.
-i take my tea without sugar and think of the way coffee spoons looked cradled in the spaces between your fingers.
-you were lovely but it was all for show.
-
(all these observations and no one to share them with. i curl up by the window and tell them to myself.)
-
maybe we’ll cross paths six years down the road, where we’ll stumble into each other as awkwardly as the very first day. in the night, under street lamps: i will sweep my thumbs over your unchanged cheek bones. you’ll think about the girl from your memories and wonder where she went, why she looks so tired. i’ll fixate on the way smoke curls around your shoulders and how you learned to stand no less straight but more honestly.
-
time changes and so must we.
-
i hope you can find yourself in the smile of a concerned citizen, in the rattle of cable cars, in the smell of ozone after rain. and at the end of it all, i hope you can find me.
