Once you decide something
There it will be
It’s always been there
You were never looking
Because you didn’t know
That you were looking
For that one thing
We all have ideas
But not specific ideas
Dogs never chase all
Of the balls they
Chase one individual ball
Getting what you want
Is just like fetch
When you know what
All you will ever
Ever see is it
There’s a traveling hack
Take half of what
You normally would pack
This is the reason
We tend to bring
Twice as much as
We will ever use
Imagine your hearts suitcase
When you move on
Only bring with you
Forward half of everything
Related to experiencing love
Why you may ask
Because when you get
To whomever you’re going
You are likely to
Never wear bad memories
And instead need room
For the good memories
You’re going to make
You’re coming with me
It has been decided
No no more debate
I’m not letting go
Not of you anyway
Not yet anyway what
Would I do without
So as the tree
Says to the acorn
And the cattails to
Their downy white seeds
Wherever you go I
Will go there too
I have left someplace
So many times before
Leaving almost everything behind
This time it’s different
This time I feel
As if I’m going
And no longer running
This time it’s different
With no loose ends
I’ve made my peace
Here and for the
First time I’m taking
It along with me
I’m coming to terms
With so many things
I’m tossing things out
And tossing things off
Because I know that
Whatever is coming next
Requires me to be
Just be and be
Just me just me
Just me being me
