In this very small corner
Of the world
I am sitting slightly on the edge of my chair
In anticipation of the
Warm sun that rolls very kindly across my
Weary shoulders.
I hear whispers and little patters
Silverware and walking feet
I am taken back to a place
Taken back to a moment when you
And I
We’re close.
Touching arms and
Knees, you would
Sometimes
Whisper in my ear;
Green was the color of
Your wind breaker jacket
To have and to hold
Your deep brown eyes
As if it was yesterday and not almost six
Years ago.
I remember
The calling
The falling way
That you held me against your chest as
If I could slip away from your big and deep
Embrace
I didn’t mind being surrounded by you
And the way you would ask about
My day;
Calling cards are for lovers
You would say
And then look to me with a smirk in your
Eyes
Those lovely
Angel eyes
That really did deceive me
thinking I understood, your soul.
Back to moments that
Surround me now
Names called
Orders picked up and I
Enjoy the bright blue spring day sky.
How we have
Shifted and yet
Remained the same
I will always cherish my memories with you
Passing stranger,
We were both travelers and
as you left, I always wondered what
Could have been
If we journeyed together a little longer.
