The Lake By the Cafe

I’ve seen you before

Eyes narrowed down

As if the world had dismantled you from your body

Patient and easy

I approach you in awe as you bring fourth words of hesitation

Make way for whatever comes next

How can I make way for you

You cast yourself in isolation

Dreading the day you would be approached by such confidence

Such eagerness to get beside you

Only you

To fathom any piece that I could get

To replace my love with you and by this bind we could connect

The surgical cord for one’s intellect

You see, mine is not as great as one

But surely enough damage has already been done

The look on your face says it all

You get the same coffee, black, extra sugar, maybe tall

I’m no truth seeker, but the lips of an apple always seems to call

Like you did

Without speaking a word
