You get used to being alone,
but it never gets easier.
So you find company
where you can,
at the bar next to the old man
who buys everyone’s round.
At work, with your
coworkers who you
see more than your family.
But it doesn’t fill the void.
Just helps numb
you at the time.
It’s funny that you
begin to miss
old relationships,
because at least you were
always together.
Even if you weren't getting along.
Two drinks and the night
would either go
north or south.
The unpredictability
is no longer a factor
but at least it
made things interesting.

It’s dark when I wake up,
the sun is just starting
to peak over the trees.
It’s time to get back
on the stairs,
and make food at home.
Cozy up to the man
that keeps me warm
and catch up on
all the tv and movies
I’ve missed.
I will close off half
of my house
and relearn the fastest way
to build a fire.
A new season is
just beginning,
and I can only hope
the holidays actually
bring happiness this year.

He kissed my fingertips
and then the palm of
my hand.
He continued up
my arm
until he pulled me
closer and
kissed my lips.
He smiled at me
with his big blue eyes
and then turned back
to his computer
and continued drawing.
He’s so affectionate,
like a puppy;
cute and scruffy.
He tells me I’m pretty
just to see me smile,
and holds my hand
on the couch.
We’ve spent the week together,
talking, and drawing and coloring.
Making love and going out
for Chinese.
I wish every week could
be like this.

I think he was
going to say it.
Or wants to
but won’t for some reason.
He’s been saying
everything except
those 3 words.
But I’m in no rush,
I want him to
really mean it,
and me too.

I spend a lot of
time thinking about
other people.
Like right now,
I’m thinking about
him.
I guess I don’t think
I’m that interesting.
But,
I’m plenty interesting.
More than most.
I should spend
more time getting to
know me,
I think I’d like her.

I wonder if the
sanderlings know
that the ocean waves
will always crash along
the shore.

I set a picture
of my boyfriend
as the background
of my watch,
and as much as I love
looking at him
it’s making me mad
because I miss him.
I don’t like missing
someone,
it makes me crazy.
