dear true love,

when was the last time I saw your smile?

was it months ago, or have you grinned all the while?

has it been hidden – from me –

I can see joy, bedridden in the folds near your eyes. but is it still meant for me?

or has enough time passed that when you look my way, it’s transparency?

I miss seeing you.

the everyday continuity is through, and I wish my rose-colored love was less freckled with blue.

so –

the rain is coming down in sheets. like pages of a book, waves of water flutter in the breeze. and it reminds me of you.
