Wondering

In case you were wondering...
yes you still come to mind
when I pass that place or  when I hear that song,
for some reason, ...or for no reason,
but yes..you still come to mind.



In case you were wondering...
no, you're not solely to blame.
I could have done this, I should have done that,
I wouldn't, ..well, I didn't,
but no, you're not solely to blame.



In case you were wondering...
you always made me laugh.
At someone silly, or something obsurd,
at you, at myself,...or for no reason at all.
but you always made me laugh.



In case you were wondering...
I'm different for having known you.
I might be more vulnerable, or maybe I'm  stronger,
probably better, certainly not worse,
but definitely different for having known you.



In case you were wondering....
I wish you all you deserve.
what you want and go after, what you don't realize you need,
the great things you will enjoy, the terrible things that you'll learn from.
I truly wish you all you deserve.



In case you were wondering...
I wonder things too.
like, do I come to mind? do you think I'm to blame? if I made you laugh,
if you're different for having known me, or if you wish me all I deserve.
    I wonder things too.                            

        (in case you were wondering)
