Leaf

I spy a leaf
hovering high above my
head like my expectation
of something more between 
us sit and gaze
I do dreamily wondering 
when you will fall 
landing upon my shoulder 
but fall you don’t 
but rather stay there 
my disappointment in you 
as my leaf has 
all to do with 
my dream of you 
becoming something you’re not 
than it ever has 
about me letting you 
be the little leaf
that you beautifully are
