nothing creates
nothing
yet somehow
I found you

Most of you
is gone from me now
snippets remain
your smile
your brown eyes
the way you saw the world
your indifference
your belief in me
your difference
to me
your belief in strange
I was not brave enough
even though we both
wished me so.

I am swimming in a  sea of you
I am drowning in too much of you
I am climbing the Everest of you
I am delving into the deep of you
I am inhaling the worst of you
I am crying for the loss
and the best of you

I think
I keep
our love young
Do you?

I wonder
if anyone
has ever been
as wrong
about someone
as I have been
about you

What do people do
when they don’t have
you?

I look in the mirror
and I see you.

You left
without
conversation  
walked away
without
persuasion

of all the boys
I have
ever regretted
and there have been a fewl
I only ever
regretting
resisting
You!

John Lennon said
Let it be
But there are so many ways to
Let it be
Truth is
John Lennon  never met
You and me

You have left fingerprints
that I cannot erase
marks upon my skin
shadows
exposed by truth
memories
celebrated by youth.
