I know exactly 
where everything is 
where it goes 
when it’s done 
doing its thing 
where to find 
it how to 
use it and 
keep it safe 
be this object 
utensil or person 
I know where
you always belong 
just there a
tad out of 
reach just far
enough away to 
make me want 
to find you 

Be bold
speak of
love when 
you feel 
if others
of your
affection deny
then that’s 
a burden 
upon their 
soul and 
never yours
die of
this life 
with memories 
not regrets 

It’s funny how 
quickly lost goes
to gone how 
fast gone goes 
to forever and 
then for good 
oh the exit
that lacks drama 
just a drip
drip drip into 
an unbreakable silence 

I saw
a shop
with beautiful 
window dressing 
I went 
inside only 
to find 
that their 
best was
in the 
window for 
the world 
to see
but on
the racks 
were seconds
and nothing 
else but 
imitations and 
cheap knockoffs 

It’s just that 
this you see
was never any
other and both 
wouldn’t be better 
let’s just say 
that this then
was our very 
own first when 
and remember it
just like that
