I leave myself hung so far out
I could be placed there to dry
But instead, if my feelings
I don’t let you astride
If my thoughts and hopes
Schemes and dreams
I do not open up for show
Then what will we bestow
What could we have become
How would we be the same
If nothing to do with being up above
If nothing to do with being in love
First thought would be nothing at all
And if that’s what it is, that is the call
But this is no ultimatum
Although a reply would be nice
This is no whinging sojourn
Into some soliloquy
I could bring you flowers
But that’s not what I meant
I’m trying to be wide open
Though not full-on letting go
I’m trying to find new found freedom
Yet also have the best of both
A female poet said to me
That when a woman says goodbye
Then usually it’s for forever
Because
It’s taken so long for her to say go
I don’t know if that’s true
I don’t know if it’s true for you
Or if it’s true at all
It seems quite unforgiving
A funny way of living
I hope we can
Occasionally be together
Yes that’s what I hope
And how far out goes the tether
Well I can but only hope
But I do agree
That constantly in one space
The place that for neither then is home
And it’s right that it’s your place
And that it’s up to me to roam
But I will have vacations
And weekends away
You know I’d like to visit
You know I like to write
I hope that
This is no intrusion
Let there be
No confusion
I do still love you
I love a you
That you don’t even know
That I know
