13
Now I enter a new day with nervous breaths
A return of innocence
The red balloon that you want to win
In summer’s carnival
That hand you want to hold
But can’t
Those goosebumps that embed an uplifting silence
Pacing by the phone,
Echoes of ringtones and comfort greetings
A deep blue sky during autumnal Saturday mornings
Where, now,
I find myself standing by a solitary chair
In a school dance
As “Right here Waiting” plays in 500 watt flirtations
Hoping she accepts this dance
Living for the remembrance of you
Romantic palpitations reaching towards handwritten memories
Living for your remembrance of me
This 13 yr old heart
Beating
Beating
Towards a smile of irrevocable consequences
Caressing ivory keys upon resilient sunflowers
Awaiting our smiles to rendezvous unto willful sunrises
Our solemn faces against shoulders
Swaying to a never-ending stanza
Missing you, like The Police,
With every breath I take
