she was born in PA

i remember

the time

i felt

ALIVE

and

you felt

completely yourself

and the

present moment

was the

only moment

not this one

nor that one

and the world

shined brighter

on our

little corner

and YOU

were the reason

for my

every smile

and wanting

was having

and 2:00 AM

felt early

not late

and conversations

and silence

felt the same

right

with you

and i learned

your walls

weren't as high

in the morning

as they are

at night

and you melt

at your pace

in slow fashion

and the cold

was no match

for our

body heat

and missing you

came

the second

We let go

and your height

and mine

make for

perfect hugs

and your hand

in mine

Locks

our permanence

on this

impermanent world
