Three

Shopping for Thoughts

You're here

I saw You

In the snack food aisle

By the frozen section

 

You're here

I saw You

 

I can't now

Did You leave

Did You see me too

Tell me You're still here

 

You're here

By the produce

Standing so close

I can feel You

 

There

 

I want to say hi

Look

Stare

Smile

 

At You

 

I turn and You're there

Avoid Your eyes

Inhale

Turn again

 

Are You looking

Did You move

Peek

I do

 

You're not there

Exhale and turn

Gasp and jump

You do it

 

I do it

 

We laugh

I'm shy

I'm nervous

I'm scared

 

I'm warm

 

I see them

You see them

I take them

You smile

 

I smile

 

I miss it

I miss us

I miss You

 

It hurts

 

Inhale

 

You reach for them

The fruit

 

No

 

You're reaching

You're taking

Touching

 

My hand

My cheek

My lips

 

Your hand

So warm

Soft

Wet

 

No

 

A tear

My tear

My apology

I'm sorry

 

Your kiss

Forgiveness

 

Forgiveness

 

Strawberries

 

Exhale
