#pocketknife
I couldn't find the pocket knife
in my pocket, I wanted to etch
us in eternity forever.
Our names growing in time but
that was never meant to happen.
I planted seeds that never grew,
one was for me the other for you.
Wanting us to blossom over time
but all that flourished was
time that never really grew.
How could you never see the space
that was between us separate.
Even though we were inseparable
we were couldn't reach to
touch the other.
I planted seeds that couldn't grow,
one was for me the other for you.
Wanting us to blossom over time
but all that flourished was
time that stood between what grew.
But when I look at you
and your gaze back at me.
I know that it doesn't take
words etched
or for a flower to blossom
to show the connection between us is real.
I couldn't find my pocket knife,
so I kissed you and love grew from that
to what we are and this is us me and you.
Why wouldn't the moments stay
with us, it passed like we weren't
even in the same time zone.
when I wanted you the phone was
silent.
"This is the answer phone of my life leave a message,
But you never got back to me?
Are we still that message on a tree,
one never etched but meant to be.
