though I already know
today is still a fresh start for the
future me and you
I will continue to glance your way and
practice saying your name
even though you briefly turn to
return my greetings
in my general direction
because you too, already know
Still I hold my tears and nod
with satisfaction
Today's attempt has not been
wasted;
and every night the stars and moon
breathe away the day's deepest fears
tomorrow I'm ready to try again.
Perhaps I am pretending to forget
that I don't already know
how our roads have parted long ago.
My smile holds no bitterness for you
My heart unable to tear away from you
wretched thing, I am
I gaze upon your face and wonder
how much more I have to wait
though I already know
a part of me still tries,
still won't let go
