(for c.s.)
have you ever felt a way about somebody where you just couldn't let go?
and if you did you'd be letting go of yourself

ever fallen asleep to the rain and when you woke, it was still storming?

i loved a man
a musician
and we loved
he played while i wrote
and we loved

one time he kissed my neck
and i didn't even catch the fire until he was long gone
too wrapped up in the moment to live it
our goodness was too good to me and in its presence i didn't know whether to be thankful or timid
and i don't do timid

so now
years later
i kind of
pretty regularly
almost daily now
call
or stalk
my once in a lifetime love

i know he still plays piano
now he plays me too
morning and night
his touch is my response
