poetry from 2002...wowzers

can it be
that you were there
just for me
that I counted it down
and then you came
I know (it is fact) that you followed me so well tonight
Because I saw you (watched you closely)
didn’t know you
but liked
your ideas
I could read them in you
you came to
!me!
and everything has echoed ever since
you came
to that road!
Where I exited,
you entered
your blood was warm inside your shoes
(I liked your socks)
and you
looking over your shoulder
as if the first few were not enough
but
(oh my god)
they were.

I’m so much lighter than you!
You were there, warming
Getting ready-oh my
(god god sweet I love this place lift me up hiiigher)
I’m lighter than you!
When you were young, I came to you
Where you were
I knew it by heart
I memorized it without you knowing
And I ran there every single night for a year
To be light with you and your touch
That gives me such a nostalgic essence
It takes me away from now
It brings me back to where I used to belong
With you
Nothing was so wrong then
Except empty blades of grass
I sang to you on the weekends
Handed you my hand
I rested my headache on your lap
Counted all of your hairs and
Warmed you

--
stay oh my god why don’t you?
I just warned you
It’s not enough?
Sweet you
Be wicked with me!
I’d love for you to
Be by my side
During each meal
I’d turn and smile
I’d love you
I’d turn your eyes into light.
