Sooner

I wish

I had known you 

Even just a little longer

Enough time

To know you

Even just a little better

From what I can tell

You're the type of person

Who knows things

Even just a little better

Than everyone else

Even just a little kinder

I wish 

I had met you 

Even just a little sooner.

  • Memories and solid things

    If I could weave the memories of you in a giant blanket 

    The night sky would appear 

    Or maybe the streets of that one city in Central America 

    The unspoken words caught in a language barrier

  • Crush

    It's almost like the words get stuck

    in the folds of my mind before they reach the paper

    Or maybe I just can't describe

    memory
