For you

Instruct

Fingers slide over keys, 

the vibration that fills my head, 

and pours into my veins. 

I know exactly what you'd say,

like I've downloaded, 

an image, 

that speaks without words. 

I want to share, 

and to believe that it never happened, 

that if I wandered away, 

I'd find you, 

waiting for me to play. 

It's so very hard, 

because I never knew how much I cared, 

until you  became something in my head, 

things I wish you knew about me, 

and I don't know if this is real, 

but the reminder of your notes, 

circles and jokes, 

and my skills, 

those conversations were my escape, 

and so much I wanted to say, 

to show, 

you were going to be my mentor, 

and you have been, 

I want to keep going for you, 

live up to what you imagined me becoming.
