Even in our neverland.

This morning I saw your shadow on my wall again,

Your arms were long and spread out like Christ

and your head was tilted to the side,

almost begging me to hold you.

You know I can't hug the wall but you were there anyhow

calling to me silently, telling me you love me, even in this time apart

 

The times have not been so bad, these days without you

I found my self, lost myself in a terrible man, and found myself  again in the most unusual place, in your good humor.

I moved from one world to another, held together broken people with scotch tape

and made sure that everyone could tell I was not to be ignored.

I believed my own hype and knew that in the end, the only thing that mattered was finding the other half of my heart.

I believe you are it.

For decades and minutes, I held you in seldom thought of memories

saying hello to you when you crossed my mind but put you back on the shelves

until we met again.

I was sucker punched in the jaw with your face one day,

keeping my attention on you, every moment my body is awake.

I could try, if I really wanted to, to put you back on the shelf

but something tells me that the cobwebs would kill you

and my attention depleted soul would leave you there with out a thought

and I don't want that, I like seeing your face in strangers on the street

and I like hearing your scratchy voice in the wind at midnight

True as it is, you are not here with me but those moments when I can feel you

are worth the waiting I am doing as I patiently see this through.

Just don't take too long.  Keep sending me filthy mental telepathy

and join me every morning as a shadow on my wall

Trusting that when the time is right I will gladly take your name as mine

if you promise to want me to.

I am not a logical person, and you are not a typical man, but together we are magic

even in our neverland.

what an amazing piece of writing. down to earth. conversational. thoughtful. transparent. simply stating emotions that aren't easy to nail down. just the right amount of description and imagery. writing like this makes me want to applaud. bravo. encore.

You should be proud of this here, and in, neverland.
