to You, the one not too far yonder, the one facing That way
   I'd like to meet you - or rather you meet me
I'd like to leave a mark - my mark
   With you
But what could I say?
   What wouldn't scare you away?
   But instead, make you stare a little longer - not That way

I could tell you everything
   But then you might refuse it
      refuse Me altogether
I could tell you nothing
   and just take a few, measured inches closer
      But then you might never see it

Instead, I'll tell you Something
   and with this Something I hope you'll look
   look and see another Something
      about Me
   a Something I didn't know I wanted you to see
   a Something that will make it so we're both looking This way

Hello.
Jennifer Nguyen Oct 2014
Watching from afar I
admired you adored you craved you

Once I met you, I couldn't get you out of my
head heart castle in the air

Time passed
I was a bit crass

And now that I see you
beyond the desire
through the dreams
and without the delusions

I’m disappointed

This room leaks secrets
So we fill it with music
Then improv our own

They say the gift is self fulfillment
That I must look to myself for happiness
But I can't find a mirror.
