The Four Act Story of You and Me

I. euphoria 

hands the 
same size 
names the 
same sound 
so familiar 
speech 
so tender 
touch 
mirror of my 
subtle 
organic 
movements 
don't run 
rush, my love 
rush my blood 

II. serendipity 

i like how you make 
me feel when 
we rest under 
the shadow 
of a pear tree 
when we 
drink a cup 
of tea 
at midnight, 
eat freshly 
peeled oranges 
while 
winter surrenders 
into spring 
playing hide and seek 
with the sun 
i like how you 
make me feel

III. see-saw 

your missing footsteps 
they follow 
they move 
they follow 
me back to the kitchen: 
spoiled orange juice 
i liked how 
you made me feel: 
playing 
hiding 
seeking 
how you made 
me feel 
you made 
me 

IV. epiphany 

in front of 
our mirror i am 
praying 
dancing 
crying 
laughing 
singing 
kissing 
touching 
mourning all i ever was 
i am still 
in the rooftop: 
drink white wine 
eat a peach 
smell daisies 
and let my body 
drench with sunlight 
holding on to 
letting you go 
letting you 
go
