I came upon you today
another shadow
teeming down the highway
always the wrong plate
yet impressed I am
how each time
I see the you
I want to be today,
I’m left imagining
the remainder while
you exist so far away.
I check a dozen times
each outlet
a message gives me
a sign, another day,
I watch you drive away,
without a chance
I go about my way –
hope, anxiety, desire
lessened by such a dire
reality I cannot say.
When once we would
hold onto what we could
today I watch lives drive by
knowing there’s always a why
one day,
I’ll look forever every night,
each morning,
wherever I might
imagine her
today.
