stand up for what you love
i wish i had never left you,
because now i know that i have been away far too long to deserve anything,
and i wish i had never left you, because i love you and my love for you is
far purer, far simpler than the love i have come to know,
which tiptoes and then speeds up without warning,
embraces and then runs over you, twists and churns.
still, it is good. but not the same.
send me your address and i shall send you a letter,
stained with ink and tears and sealed with a kiss,
begging for forgiveness in the form of nonsense.
