// cosmos girl

She sits on the train
Her newly-dyed hair
Swinging lazily
Into her face
Eyes full of pain
That you put there.
How she misses your tall arms!
The solidness of your chest,
The gleam of your teeth
As you told another
Lame
Joke

// seeing you again

I left your side today
And wondered why I ever had;
That silly misunderstanding ‘
Seemed so far in the past.

This afternoon, our time,
A dance of familiarity
Our jokes, our gestures both hid looks
Of unquestionable compatibility
I leaned into you,
Our fingers intertwined;
Your lips brushed my cheek
As you said goodbye –
And the “rightness” of it all
Frightened me.
You made me remember
The person that I’d lost,
Before I became too lost
To remember.
you made me smile and
Warmness stole my heart away
For just a little bit,
And as we said goodby
I contemplated kissing you;
And now I regret
That I didn’t.
