All I Know

All I Know

I talk to you in my head,

in my dreams

and when the words won't come

I write them down

Always to you...

Eventually I delete your replies

You never write much anyway

Maybe I should keep all of your ellipses and questions

I save your voice mails for awhile,

listening to them when I feel far away

but I can hear you without them

Someday you say I won't need you

and my feelings will be different,

but I don't want them to change

I'm accustomed to this longing

It is all I know

"If you feel lost, disappointed, hesitant, or weak, 

return to yourself, to who you are, 

here and now,  and when you get there, 

you will discover yourself, like a lotus flower,

in full bloom, even in a muddy pond,

beautiful and strong."

~Masaru Emoto "The Secret Life Of Water"
