I'm afraid I will
never do anything
quite as grand as
all the things
I imagine
you are
doing.

For those of us that think too much.

i don't think that missing someone or something
is defined by the things
that remind you of them
but by the fact that you slowly --
-- but surely
forget those things about them
like their voice
and their laugh
and the way they sang
when they were in the shower
because they thought you never listened
i think it's the forgetting
not the remembering
that drives people crazy
to the point of calling and
hanging up
just to hear that someone --
-- you just came to mind
say "hello"
one last time.
[although, due to a lack of self-control, it's never really the last.]

i told them i want to
be somebody
and they asked why
i couldn't just be me
can't you see?
being myself
just isn't
enough
i need to be Somebody

all i can say is
i'd really like to know
what it feels like
to wear your shirt
to sleep.

i have gotten
a lot quieter
since the
end of
july
when we
stopped talking
and i tend to think
more. My taste for
theatrics has slowly
dissipated.

it's true that you really only can find yourself by yourself.

that His silence
could be an
answer.
