a day of remembering you
08/13/2004 05:46 a.m.
i thought of you last night
while in bed:
thought of how you used to lick your lips
before you'd kiss me goodnight

i thought of you this morning
while pouring coffee into my glass:
remembering how you'd watch me over your coffee cup
and tell me i looked beautiful today
and every day

i thought of you while jogging
in the sun:
sweat down my chest
between my breasts;
i remembered how you'd hold me close
(sweat and all)
loving me for all i was
[running there,
i missed your touch]

i thought of you while picking weeds
from the flowerbed:
how i used to manipulate
and destroy all your little oddities
and make you perfect
[standing in the flowers,
i felt sorry]

i thought of you while making my bed
and pulling back the sheets:
climbing in by myself
i thought of all you'd done for me
[in that bed,
i missed you]
