in my mind
I sketch your face
while in my heart
I make my case
amazed and confused
by the many detours we have taken
a year and a month in the thick
'Of Friendly Romantic Things'
for months now between us
the ground we mutually make claim to
has sobbed and shaken
I feel so close to you
yet sometimes fear you more
which is strange
as I am the old hat in this coat closet
you the new shiny threads
that everyone wants to try on
so why be weary of the reality
or the game
natural human fear of the unknown
I suppose
and through it all
as complex as such emotions
to us reveal
I still long to see you live and in the flesh
with and without your clothes
that is what that pure woman part of me
regularly reveals...............................
