I stand on the shore waving, as you drift away slowly on the wanton crystal sea.

The ground is the same cracks in the sidewalk and holes in the ground the sun has passed over in multiples cubed and my bones still hold straight my skin. I'll never stop missing you and I'll never stop missing her I'll never stop missing him and I've made peace with the future not realized. There is no purpose there is no plan there is only the good that potentially we will one day do.

I don't know why I sent that
instead of
"I need you."
I just can't trust a tree with such shallow roots.
My years reach down to the center of the Earth
and you have so much room left
to
grow.

I never really understood the new generation
the drugs just made it seem like I did,
no allegiance to anything
no responsibility to anyone.

I love you wholly
you love me despite my ignorance.

If my new life suffocates me this thoroughly
how can there possibly be air enough for two?

But anyway,
that is what I meant to say
but you'll grow tired of me
and slowly drift away
as I continue on
aloof.
