Poem #5

you're my friend
even running parallels - safe life on different aisles.
you're my shadow
giving me a steady motion of ambivalence

i saw you from the other end of the bar
you struck me like a night cap
i saw you in the woods
you haunted me so beautiful
i saw you in the stars
you never felt closer
and that left me wanting more

there's a new hope, and you're not a jedi
but to be fair, i can't read your mind either
ceramic situations, so glossy with white and fragility
sometimes it's easier just not to say anything
but we don't want easy. you're not easy.

you're my horizon
drawing me closer, but no sign of ending
you're my counterpart
and no one knows how this thing ticks

i saw you wear a black dress
and everything else disappeared
i saw you in my future
and i couldn't wait to grow up
i saw you
and that was enough for me
