It was a snowy November evening
You looked the same as you did in high school
Funny how I saw you everyday back then
but we seemed to have lost touch
after graduation
For a few weeks we kept bumping into each other
I begin to think now it wasn't as random as it seemed
The biggest regret I have is never catching up, always breaking plans
Because apparently my life was just too busy to fit you in
I wish I could go back to that snowy November evening, driving
you in my car to get something you had forgotten
or maybe even go back to the afternoons on the
big yellow bus in junior high
You would always sit in the back and yell out obscenities
In so many small ways you taught me to get out of the
shell I was put in as a young girl
I have never realized that til now
but now I can not help but wonder how I am
still here but you are not
Every time I drive in a snow storm at night
I think of you
and I remember the conversations we had
I miss you so bad

my body shivers
as the cold rushes through
my veins
I lay here, flat on the floor
not knowing where I am
I am in between today and
tomorrow
my heart beats sounds of sorrow
I reach out to grab your hand
but within a glance
you're no longer there
my heart is bare, exposed
and the one I want
to see it
gone

Every time I lose myself
I try to find you again

Maybe it is because you're  the one
who understands me

Maybe it is because I feel
so safe, so vulnerable
when I am beside you

Every time I lose you
I try to find myself again

I cannot find you or me
anywhere
anymore

I have lost all focus
so lost and confused
My body is here
but my mind has drifted off shore
It is sailing in the wrong direction
hoping to find a pristine destination
I hope I make it through these
waves and the stormy weather
cross the sea to a land where everything is
better
the waves are crashing all over me, I may sink
and drown
unless I can learn to overcome the wicked waters
of my mind...

I sit here on an empty bench
wondering whether if I should get up
or stay for a while
I decide the second, as I think about your smile

I hope for you to walk past,
and simply say hello
but as the next few short minutes
pass
so does no one

Should I go and find you?
or should I let you be
These questions not so easily answered
by the patient me
