dear you,
i hope you got the message i sent you,
it was placed in this world,
i said a final goodbye, a hello that
sounded like it was on the road to
death,
because i felt like i would never see you
again,
but then,
who knows what will happen. i went
living on with my life for years and never
thought of her until today,
i realized she never returned the call,
maybe she never got the message that
i was missing her after all.

my dreams didn't find you because
they weren't you. growing up
was like watching trees -
they didn't move until you left
for years or seasons with new leaves.
but like the tree, i missed you.
because when you left,
i was stuck, and i couldn't leave to find you.
