It is only fair
that life
takes time
away from me
and barters it
with
moments
I visit
in my mind
from time to time

If I made your heart ache through all my foolish mistakes.
Remember this love I wish to you.
If you do decide to wave goodbye.
Please pay attention to that one tear in my eyes.

Just remember these words of mine.
Love, I wish to you.
Not one to hate upon your choice.
For many were of my own making.

You are the lighting to my thunder.
As I was the warmth to your sunny side.
But in my haste of being foolish.

I realize now, you I must not have cherished.
But believe me, when I say this to you.
I wish, totally wish love to your lovely heart.

46

I keep my pledge.
I was not called—
Death did not notice me.
I bring my Rose.
I plight again,
By every sainted Bee—
By Daisy called from hillside—
by Bobolink from lane.
Blossom and I—
Her oath, and mine—
Will surely come again.

Your aura spills into my half empty soul
I'm pessimistic, I refuse to believe it's half full
You know when we hold hands for too long and our palms get clammy?
Well I don't mind, the sweat reminds me of the anxiety I had when I first met you
How you turned that anxiety into comfort
How that comfort completes me
It's not that my soul was broken
It just wasn't fully developed
I know you
Your voice plays a familiar song
Your smile tells a familiar story
I hadn't heard that story in a long time
But now I recite it every time you cross my mind
I smile
Your aura spilled into my half empty soul
No longer do I feel incomplete
