ThatSound

And it was then 
that I knew that
we were not finished
because of what reminded
me of you it
was the quietest whisper
something that without silence
would have gone missing
I was sitting alone
and drinking my coffee
and without a thought
drew my thumb down
across the lip of
the cup and the
sound at first faint
but when repeated reminded
me of the sound
of your front door
bell that very first
time I ever rang

ThinkDoToo

We all well I
do and I think
that you do too
do this thing that
I think well I
know that I do
I guess that I
well that you do
or might maybe do
too this thing that
But let’s not talk
about this thing anymore
let’s just do it
this thing I think
that I do that
you want to do
too with me now

KnowYouThenThem (to Gil)

What is not important 
is to have friends
for friends unlike you
causes dissonance and distraction
and dissonance causes discomfort
oh it is okay
to sometimes swim
with the ducks but
when you are a
swan only other swans
can show you how
go find your gaggle
your herd your flock
even though your intention
of leading by example
is too often admirable
more often than not
those who are anchors
will never ever float

IttyBittyPlace

Some things do return 
and some things don’t
it’s in that gap
that itty bitty place
where missing often happens
and this missing is
by far bigger than
the time spent together
I guess that there’s
something to be said
in just how we
remember things be them
better or for worse
for how we remember
wills just how big
that itty bitty place
does need to be

Imagined

If you only knew 
only knew how many
times I imagined you
imagining you with me
if you only knew
how I would hold
you how I did
hold you when I
imagined you if you
only knew then and
now I think about
then then when I
imagined you because now
I have and do
and even in my
wildest of imagining you
I never imagined you
to be like this
