Why did I go?

Rain falls from the sky, 

Yet my feet are cemented on the ground. 

And the water beads on my face, 

Turning my hair wet when I wish it were dry. 

But somehow I don't care. 

For I want to take this moment in again,

For the first time. 

 

To feel the warm and light of the fire, 

The orange, red of the flame. 

The way the sky always stayed the same, 

For years it was part of my life, 

And it was the same every day. 

 

I want to see your face for the first time, 

As we tell our stories, 

Talking through the fence, 

That separated us. 

 

I want to sit on the bus, 

Another cold morning, 

As the frost is stained on the window. 

Calming me as I remember the past times. 

 

I want that goodbye to last forever, 

So it never truly ends. 

Everything should stay the same. 

And I'll remember your face forever. 

And we'll stay the same. 

Forever.

  • Yesterday

    yesterday 
    to you i was nine years old 
    with a black hurley hat 
    that never left my head 
    the hat that you would take 
    and try to hold it far above 
    my reach knowing i could never get it 

  • Seasons

    Summer nights

    Taste of sweet smoke

    Laughter and kindness

    The generosity of strangers

    The hopes of tomorrow

    And the struggles of a past day


     

    Fall days

    Feel the heat on your back
