Not Confused Anymore

[jerea]

XII. Head before heart before heels
Five straight days and counting
You're still a no-show, still a let-go
Five straight days and passing
Still empty seats, no words, no hints
The light is bright while the people smile
But all I know is you're not around
Five straight days and I might just
forget your ways, your touch, your voice, your smile,
your naughty little snide remarks...
I might just forget you.

XIII. One of my happiest moments
Late March
After hours
Seven-thirty
Until ten
Walked around
Laughed away
Italian dinner
Light talk
Serious talk
You, me
The question
Frozen time
Sudden breath
I nod
You? Too.
Pounding heart
Hidden smile
Relief, joy
At last
Contentment, assurance
Better sleep
Better dreams
Love begins.
