I’m as sentimental as I’ve been.
You’re my friend.
I’m tired of waiting—
For happiness.
For what others take for granted.
For the world to crinkle, as the vinyl needle night reads a song of
freedom just for us.
I can touch my chest.
Your hand has been there.
I can wet my lips.
Your lips have done that.
I can read The Bell Jar.
Your eyes have been there.
We’re one poem closer;
Waiting hurts.
If books were really windows I would break them.
