remembered

Addressed to me, this feather light box,
too big to hold its contents.
nine small words and a familiar hand,
I knew this wasn't nonsense.

oblivious me, judging books by their cover,
a box by its weight,
there was more to discover.
this box held more than paper light words,
but the weight of the world
the world that's yours.

a typer's fear
for whats to appear
on this screen that fills my vision.
a title read,
and many words said,
feelings expressed with precision.

like the shattering bullet
when it strikes in its place,
the tears streaked down
my blushing face.

reminded of your soulful grace,
your way with words
and happy face,
you'll always hold a special place
in this homeless heart.

relive the past by visiting you,
but nothing there to see.
but changing pictures for public view
its the only connection for me.

cut out of life
and out of sight
it's something I accept.
I keep you close
with a box of hopes
and memories I have kept.

sunday morning
you made a plan,
cancelled out by me.
you walked right in
and turned away
hoping I wouldn't see.

/ / /

the day I thought it would be her,
i noted it in my phone.
i saw your face in shallow aperture
and knew your weren't alone.

we always knew it would be hard
to pack away these years,
the days that left us happily scarred
with music, laughs and tears.

we agreed we'd take our time,
chasing the sun
letting it shine.
the days are longer
without the time
i spent talking to you .

/ / /

took advantage of your curious mind,
never thought you cared,
i have learned you are one of a kind,
and i wish i would have shared.

i let him go.
because he wasn't enough.
being alone isn't so tough.
but being without you
makes life rough,
because you were always there.

/ / /

belated or not,
its always the thought
and i know you're never without one of me.
i would be lying
if i said
of you, my mind is free.

/ / /

here for you
though binding ropes are gone,
here for you
dusk to dawn.
here for you
in desperate days
here for you
in many ways.
here for you
over coffee or tea,
here for you

because you're there for me.

/ / /

i knew you wrote
but always so shy.
but your sweet, honest words,

brought tears to my eyes.
