an old heartache

I have a feeling that

when i'm old enough

that these single moments

will only be the corners of my brain

that can barely walk anymore,

I'll look back

and miss as dearly

as I missed your arms

in the second month

of that young summer.

that's common among humans,

to miss what they'll never get back.

some of us do it just for the deep,

familiar feeling

of the pit

at the bottoms of our stomachs.

others do it to get words

into the empty spaces

on the papers

in their hands.
