that when i look out the window it doesnt mean im thinking of you. when my thoughts drift away i turn my head to look out to where my dreams were made. that when i close my eyes it doesnt mean im thinking of you. im just tired and my thoughts drift away to a time when i was happy. that when i smile it doesnt mean im contented with what i have. i try not to take things for granted and the small details of life amaze me. that when i cry it doesnt mean im in despair. ive lived a life in melancholy and ive got no tears left for sorrow. that when im happy it doesnt mean ive found you. ive been trying not to wait and every sunrise brings hope that the final day is near. that when im quiet it doesnt mean im thinking of you. i listen. i anxiously wait. got to be strong now. take a step closer.

tapping you
behind your
left shoulder
my fingers
run down
the length
of your
long sleeve
stopping at
the cuff
measuring the
safest distance
between love
and friendship
and the
nearness of
your hand
to mine
