This One's It

Some love never dies

 

I linger, and

I listen

to a Randy Newman song

I Miss You

 

12 years gone by

separated by time

distance

my poor health, but really

 

I am so alive!

 

I have no regrets

I wouldn’t trade my cats

my friends

my lovers

to go back, but

 

If only I could bring you here

with me

today

 

 

I miss you.

 

 

You are the only one

I pine over

Anyone else, I cry one day

laugh the rest

 

You

I cry for even today

 

I dream of you, and wonder

Do you dream of me?

Like how we shared the same dream

of a squirrel

I wonder if you were there in the dream I had

with me?

 

I still love you so.

 

You have another girl

She seems somewhat like me

A younger, healthier version

able to bear children - and has

given you two

 

You are the lucky one

I am the lonely one

with a Lucky Charms tattoo

 

I wouldn’t want to disrupt

your comfortable life, but

I would like for you to see me now

See how alive I am

See what I create, how I interact

with people, with animals

with you.

 

You would adore me today

I am everything I should have been

but couldn’t be

then

and more

 

I’m different, but the same

Improved

Enlightened

Eager to solidify

the meaning of this life

 

Where everything happens for a reason

 

I want to believe

 

You are meant to be where you are, and

I am meant to be wherever I land

 

I just needed to write

something

to tell you

I still love you, and

 

 

This One’s It.
