A moment in time It was just you and me, in an empty parking lot. Life was still as if it was waiting for us, giving us the hour to take it all in. As if I am seeing you for the first time. I found you in an empty parking lot even though I wasn’t looking. Your silence said everything. Life was still for you too. Our secret language. Of all the places we could be, of all the people we could be It was just you and me, in an empty parking lot.

Parking Lots
Drank into my thoughts again I’m not thinking about life I’m thinking about you And how much I miss you. And not just because of how much time has passed Since we last exchanged meaningful words I just miss you and every version of you every version you’ve shown Down to the emotional undertones Part of me wonders if I said or did something wrong. I sometimes wonder where you’ve gone. Did I let life get in the way for too long? Oh how I miss our endless days Now we cook and have bills to pay I wish someone told me that as you grow older You’d miss when you were young Where the only things that mattered Were colored pencils, friends, and bubble gum You told me once that you were scared to slip away from everyone and everything you love. Sometimes I wonder if I’ve done that. I miss exchanging thoughts and the excitement of life. It’s hurts to think Do you make time to exchange them with others? I just want a cup of you But you pour yourself into other things Maybe I haven’t offered you a refill “Maybe next week” turns into “Maybe next month” “Maybe next time” “One day” “Hope you’re doing well” “See you when I see you” Until I don’t anymore But it’s ok At least I tell myself that it is The more I say it the less I believe it Because the truth is I miss you I miss feeling full to the brim I miss existing in your universe And I miss being your friend

A letter to a friend
A love like the trees That grows from a seed Patience and perseverance A tree that grows on her own That sometimes intertwines with another Not quite together Not quite separate Growing into a beautiful form But one tree is not like the other The pine is not like the oak There are separate worlds living in each sometimes they collide Not all the birds sing the same song Sometimes these worlds don’t get along Perhaps a new space to grow Where there is no fire or smoke The pine is not like the oak

The pine and the oak
I opened the door to our home But to you it’s just my house Your home still needs paint The floor needs to be redone I help you build your house So it can be someone’s home But your house is home to you There’s no room for “us” In your house You won’t invite me in Or build our house together What am I supposed to do? Home to me is wherever with you I opened the door to our home But to you it’s not a home Just my house

Picket Fences
Navigating through a dark space Looking for a solid place to land You look so pretty from far away Your rings seems like the perfect surface Solid and strong The closer I get I start to see What a dangerous place you can be Objects circling like an organized mess You’d think after a while it’ll all go away But gravity keeps it all in place You can’t let things go Maybe I’ll just admire you from a distance

Rings of Saturn
You’re sweet in your own natural way No need to lighten you up You’re my first thought of every morning We share a sense of warmth and intimacy as I wrap my hands around you Your strength is noticeable Yet you’re an acquired taste Not everyone’s a fan of your simplicity Too soon and you’ll scald my tender lips I’ll wait for you to cool down But coffee isn’t good when it’s cold

Black Coffee
I’ve forgot what you did to me I forgave you But I still can’t forget you I’m still living a life with us in my head My friends say quit living in fantasies It’s messing with my sanity Living in alternate realities There’s only one I want to be in Where you don’t exist I wouldn’t know what broken feels like I wouldn’t know what it’s like to hurt There’s only one reality though I don’t exist in yours

Fantasies
I wish we could’ve enjoyed the rain a little longer Before a ray of sunshine came your way and took away your cloudy days with me We used to splash into puddles and watch our reflections ripple away I’m lucky if I feel a drop now a days A reminder that you’re there But not here Playing in the rain with me A reminder of what things used to be What I’d do to live another storm with you A strike of lightning would revive us or split us like trees I wish we could’ve enjoyed the rain a little longer But sunshine came your way

Rainy Days
I wish You’d look up and talk to me Tap, tap, tap Gave a few hours of my day to you You sold your soul to a phone screen Tap, tap, tap You type words faster than you say them and laugh at another conversation Tap, tap, tap I sit here patiently while you finish your stories Maybe I should’ve just sent a message Tap, tap, tap 12 seconds of my day to you So you can be where you’d rather be

I wonder if I ever crossed your mind As seasons came and went Did you think about what it was like? How things could’ve been? Or was it all just weather to you
