And Sometimes

And sometimes
I wonder
What you might be wearing today
Did you play your music
Obnoxiously loud on the way
To work
Were all the windows down
Sun warming your face &
Wind whisking your hair &
Super cool sunglasses
Don't you wish on days like this
You could drive with your eyes closed

Did you feel rejuvenated today
Starting to get a hold of yourself
And did someone come and trample
you down
Just after noon
Did you feel like a drink
But consider that probably wouldn't
Be enough
So you just sat on the beach instead

How many times did you blink today
about what time do you start to stink and
Did a memory just make you
Laugh or cry

How many times have you considered
Starting new
Trusting again, giving again
And how many times has that left you empty
Happy enough to live life
But not to trust &
Not to give

I wonder if
We would even talk
Daily or
Weekly or
At all
If we lived in close proximity
I wonder sometimes
How hard it would be
To be without you
