We are a typical date night movie
I wince at our cliché
The timing is
never correct, for us.
And so, here it is.
We have cohabitated
this same place for years;
Ignoring each other's existence and
blocking out past words
And now,
with this reconciliation of
body and mind,
I'm the one leaving.
Summer is
fading,
This Oklahoma heat speeding up the decay of break, our
time of sanctuary.
But we haven't ever had the chance to
ripen.
Now I leave,
1500 miles isn't too much, is it?
A cooler climate.
“Collegiate
Campus”
...but I'll miss these
days.
Tipsy,
Shoes off,
Holding your hand as we silently
slip by your brother's room.
Kissing your fingertips and searching
for a lost earring in the covers.
We argued Nietzche and cartoons
in these lost hours.
Is this too personal a confession?
I
would have laughed at anyone else,
Crying over a Bible-Belt, Midwest
High-School romance before
Leaving,
Growing Up,
Moving to New F*****g
York.
My skinny little life-wrecker,
I love you.
