aching
but eyes clearer than ever
does not feel so bad
notsobad
to be familiar again

a stranger for so long
gripping some real
take a nap, love
i'm not forgetting
(as our words we spoke
with full hearts
begin to wither in
summer's dismissal)

don't try so hard
it shouldn't be necessary to
try...
so.....
hard.....

and i won't keep running into walls for you.

wake up, love
i did somewhere between yesterday and tomorrow
realizing only half of this was a dream
the other simple notions of fingertips
and unwavering adoration

-who's playing whose part here anyway-

i'd call to say i have my groove back but really, love,
is it necessary?
