84b

and i can answer the age old question…
if you knew your greatest love experience
was doomed
from the beginning,
would you even bother to start?
to try for the unreachable?
i peer up and gaze
through red strands all out of place….
yes.
yes, i would.
i reach inside my pocket
to touch the folded map
and step forward with a shoe full of hope

a relationship finished from the beginning – same song, second verse – but i’m still going to love him like i am not going to get hurt.

just enough room in these pages for someone new
someone not typically my type…
as if my type was indicative of a good thing
a boy called wizard that has
intrigued me so
cowboy nerd
calm
collected
mellow
sharp
smiles a lot
all of it too fast
for both of us to grasp
he knows too much -
how to witness my tears
when to acknowledge
how to kiss in a light way
when to say what
and through him -
i have learned how you can miss something you never had
