Just the one
Ok maybe two
Little love notes
Of encouragement
Urging me on
Telling myself
That these words
Can mean
What I need them to
In the moment
I need them
Just one a day
To keep the light on

As the space
Between Who I Was
and Who I Am
Stretches out
And becomes
Impossible to fathom
I remember
Who I Am Becoming

Maybe someday I'll learn
How to start over
Without burning my life to the ground
How to walk on
To walk forward
Move forward
Be forward
Without the propulsion
Of my exodus
Being my catalyst
The thing that drives me forward
Forces me forward
Can I do that
Without destroying it all first

Baby, I miss you
I know you're out there
Big and better things
You're on to the part
I'm not ready for
And that's where you need to be
And I'm where I need to be
But ****** I miss you
