Don't keep
chasing
after people
who
go walking
past
you on
the
road of
life;

you aren't
journeying
to the
same
place they
are,

and in
time
you'll see
that's
a good
thing.

Periodically rest has
nothing
to do with
relaxation
sometimes it's an
act
of surrendering
to a situation
which you can
do so little
about.

A cracked
radiator
in your
car
is a
minor
setback, but
still

it keeps
us
from each
other;

and we're
lonely.

Today when your
car
started to over
heat
I stayed there
on
the side of
that
road until you
found
a ride back
home.

Don't forget to
send
me a postcard
from California;

because I need
you
to remind me
that one friend

out there
still wants
to keep in
touch.

This morning I
bought
both our pancake
breakfasts
to celebrate me
having
earned my learner's
permit,

soft and fluffy
discs
finally reaping my
reward.

Jordan could tell
from the first time
we met
there's something
different
about me,

she knew
under the
surface
I wasn't just
another average
guy;

which enabled me
to become
so much
more
than I once
was.
