I hope you know that multiple times each day I want to run to you and fall on my knees and say
"I miss you."
and tell you how I miss the smell of your hair, your hand in mine holding on to each other so we don't drift away when the tide comes in,
and your heart beating slowly through your skin and into mine as we lay in bed, close and quiet.
I want to tell you how I miss the upward curve on your lips, and your curious eyes, big and bright as the moon, or how your voice gets soft when you talk about your favorite books.
I want to tell you, but every time I get close something quickly whispers
"wait."
There are a thousand things I still don't know, and I have plenty of hours left to learn.  
So I'll let it be and try to learn my lesson, because in time everything truthful will out,
and if time does only one more thing for me in this life,
I hope it brings you back around.

The sun shines so brightly today
I feel it's warmth on my skin
Despite the harsh February wind
How is this so?, for last night
The darkness had such might
I couldn't see but right in front of me
And all the rest was lost
But now, the bright sun is back
I can see for miles.
I want to believe in the day
I want to soak in the light
And feel it in more than my skin.
But I can't help but wonder
if tonight will be so very dark again.

I have never known a love like yours
partly cloudy with a chance of rain
i still carry my umbrella most days
you keep storms in your back pocket
and when your jeans wear down
they fall right out, and during the distant thunder
i try to take a step onto a brave new sidewalk
but my ankle twists and i fall back into the
silk-covered fold-out cot i've known all my life
the dampness of your soggy words make
my bones feel low to the ground
heavy with the weight on your shoulders
sitting pretty behind the worries and woes
my heart makes up to block it from view
I've been all over the same place and back
I've seen all the world you have
through eyes that have the gleam of a dewdrop in the morning sun
covered in a film of dust that coats our lungs and tongues
and makes our breath catch the words we don't mean
I watch the sun rise every morning
i see the sun set every night
you say i shouldn't see as many sunsets as you do
and as the reds and purples paint the sky
and your bold and stinging orange
burns another imprint into my mind
I take a paintbrush and drag the colors in
filling the dent and putting what's left in my soul
so I don't have to see it again if I don't want to because
I know that tomorrow's the same
partly cloudy with a chance of rain
and my umbrella will be with me
for as long as I stay

I am alone. I stand on a platform. No one else is here.

I am anonymous. I am a face staring at you. My body takes up space.

I am blank. I show no signs. I have nothing. I am, simply.

I have gone. No one else is here.

Let me
talk, talk, talk
Let me
speak, speak, speak
Use my
voice, voice, voice
Make some
noise, noise, noise
Use my
words
Say these
words
All these
words
Loosing meaning
Lost their meaning
only noise
so you know I'm here
Hearing you
talk, talk, talk
Letting you
speak, speak, speak
Using your
voice, voice, voice
Making
noise, noise, noise
Using your
words
Saying your
words
Loosing meaning
Lost meanings
only noises
Letting me know you're there
Hearing me

talk, talk, talk

I have found
meaning
Does it, however,
mean without purpose

I have found
rain
Does it, however,
fall without purpose

I have found
seeds
Do they, however,
grow without purpose

I have found
faces
Do they, however,
shine without purpose

I have found
Life
Although it seems
it does not move
without purpose

Hello, my name is
"have you heard?"

didn't think so.
