I don't understand.

How can the sun come out,
when the day is so dark

How can the birds sing,
when I've lost my voice

How can the world keep turning,
when mine has suddenly stopped...

Pasts

You are not my past,
But I have one.

I am not your past,
But you have one.

Lets leave them there...

They can have our pasts,
We, can have our present,
And, our future.

First time


Every time I see you it's like the first time. 
That smile. 
Those eyes. 

Wanting to touch you. 
Wanting to kiss you. 
Only this time I can. 

I don't know if I'll ever get used to that
But I sure hope I have the chance to

My love


My heart is alive
It beats,
Sometimes skips
When you're around.

I'm there.

Moments...
birth, death, celebrations...
life.
Moments.
How do you make peace with missing them?

Life is short.
Love is long...
long enough to cross oceans.
to connect me to the moments.

Absent is nonexistent,
because I carry you in my heart,
you're always with me.
And a piece of my heart is with you...

so that's peace.

Maybe.

Holy shit.
Just like a ton of bricks...
With my nose in a book, minding my own business,
And the memories flash before my eyes like the words on the page.

Could I have failed to realize?
The small gestures,
The reach for me.

All this time, I thought we both were too safe.
Maybe it was me.
Maybe the walls I built up left you feeling like you were on the outside.

Maybe your steps were hesitant,
But maybe I only spoke a good game
and never actually showed up ready to play.

I guess the lesson I learned isn't quite done being taught.

Lesson Learned

It's been years of safe play.
Moments of wow...
of maybe this is how,
it could be.
Of no one walking out on that limb.

It's been years of frustration
Wondering if I was just another pawn in your game of life.
Moments where you could cut the sexual tension with a knife...
and still,
that limb remained empty.

It's been years...damn
it's been years.
Years of too much,
Years of not enough...
But years still...and I think that says so much,
even if that limb is still empty.

The years have led to this,
to the possibility of an end.
And yet still, the end would begin the years of what if,
of what may have been,
had I took to that limb.
The years haven't prepared me for that.
But I'll accept it willingly,
in exchange for your happiness.
