Crushes

Jess...

You were the one.

Dark hair, wild eyes.

Curl upon curl upon your head.

A gold soul I held all at once and lost.

He has you now. I'm glad.

He's kind. And you were not mine.

.

Ally...

You were also the one.

Live mind, hive mind. Bird and bee and tree girl.

How I held you, one time. A trip to Indy. A show to see.

A life I hope but will not be.

You had and lost him as I knew you.

You need more than me.

.

Sav...

You led the line of love. You were the one, one.

My eyes love your hair. Sun in its own way.

Your eyes, sky blue, open wide.

We sang out in the wild, a hike of the past.

You stay home, I went far away. The next step.

Your wave is your own. A big one.

I told you that I love you.

You let me down easy.

I love you for that, too.

.

Zac...

An odd sort of love.

Year by year by year, it is true.

I can't ever have you. I know that.

But my mind will ache for you,

When I can not bear it.

I want to tell you, to put all I have

On the line.

But I can not bear it.

.

So,

For now, I am my own one.

And all

Who I meet are mine all at once and then lost.
