Go, and say it was your choice.
You can even leave a parting note,
but make sure I don't find it.
I want to read the old letters
in the same place on the stairs
where I read them over and over
the first time, years ago
and blush in the places you knew I would.
And I won't be here if you call,
not with your face changing with your voice.
But I'll remember you in spring
from a place you've never been
that appeared when I built those
parts of you I needed you to have.
Holy shit, This just gave me chills! It completely describes a feeling I know way too well. This one reminds me of some sort of deep universal truth, it needs to be in a book.
ReplyDeleteI just read it again. And still got chills and got really excited about it. The letters and the blushing where they knew you would...it relates to me very well. ahh! sorry I just really love this.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
