I have a friend who’s begged me not to run away
again
who’s nudged me to leap
in the face of massive adversity
who’s pushed me so hard past the edge
to throw myself back in the river
knowing full well I almost drowned
and also, that that’s when I learned to swim
or rather when I learned to move with the flow
who knows I have not loved
enough now
but loved enough once for forever
only a lover recognizes another lover
who knows how to pound on the door of my heart so loud through my head
until she gets in
who knows when my soul has died enough to come back to life
they may think we’re crazy
for believing in love in all of its facets
for the magical ways we fall in love with life
and the silly lenses we look through
adorned and armed with magic
and she’s reminded me
of how I love
but we know better
we know that crazy is sane
that thats how we must be to live this life fully
she knows there will be a man one day
who will know to join me where I am
so that I can come back
he’ll know the only way to reach me is by starting in my hand
she knows he will be worthy of my soul that kisses souls
we know that even if we make a mess
we’ve lived in all of our senses
because feeling is the only way to love
and as I drove up the street with God’s face on the end
I stopped to tell him that there’s a woman who’s not having it
and I asked him to take her hand
she probably knows that
what she doesn’t know is that I’ll meet her where she’s at
to bring her back
every time
like she does me
every time
so that she’s here when her he
joins her where she is
to bring her back with him
this is what I thought
at the end of the street where God shows his face
