talking to myself


i wanted to talk to you
tell you first
wanted to see my emotions
reflected in your eyes
i thought about
how your mouth would move
a tiny upward tug at first
then a wide smile
like a child opening his arms and spinning

i hoped you'd hold me
close into you
hard enough to make me wince
but in a good way
our way.

i wanted to talk to you first
tell you every little detail
but there's an empty place
where you used to be, and so

i told myself all about it
and waited impatient
for a reply.
