...when I met you I wished
the sea was deeper
the nights and the alphabet -
longer
...
You didn't need to tell me
you have found another lover -
I heard it in your breathing
when you were sleeping next to me -
...
... when I let you into my home
I made room for you between
my bed sheets and my notebook sheets
and even though you leave my bed
...
I haven’t told anyone about you.
They must have seen you dancing in my eyes,
must have heard your faraway songs,
still lingering in my ears, and felt
...
... we learned so much being together -
we found out where the stars live
where the moon hides every morning
how tall the grass is in May
...
