it is, it was

THIS
is what it is!!!

and

THIS
is what it WAS!!!

all the other stories
had nothing to do with us.

quiet enough

when
I am
quiet enough

to hear

the trees always whisper
the same thing--

wait

...................just wait

.....you'll see

even still

even still
with what I know
and didn't know then

even still
with what you said
and what I said

and

what we didn't say

even still
after years and years
and new lovers
and new chances

there's a memory of your softness
and my heart breaks
(like then)
again.

love

like tiny

rain
drops.

We try to catch its taste

on our tongue

but precious pearls

must travel home

must travel on
