Today I did something right.
Maybe it was the midnight blue roses,
or the vanilla scented candles,
or the love flavored kiss,
I added to the menu tonight.

But I never missed that gap-toothed smile,
or the dimples,
or the wrinkles,
or the hope that I never wake up.

Today, three years ago, I lost you.
But I know,
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field.
I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language,
even the phrase "I love you"
Doesn't make any sense.

that which I cannot have

I have never noticed.
The beautiful wrinkles
that you get
Around your deep sea green eyes
(That I could drown in)
Whenever you smile.

Because  we're always arguing
I have always missed
That pretty gap  between your teeth
The cute dimples
The light in your  eyes
And the electricity
In those magical moments
when our hands "accidentally"  brush against each other

He lives in his father's house.
He pays his dues.
There is nothing for free.
The right way to live.

She looked into my eyes;
She smiled;
And I was lost.
