I miss you
like the rain forest
like the water from the floor of the forest that grows the trees
like rickety canoes and watching monkeys
They have to count for something
was our love for nothing
what did I learn

you feel the flame
before you feel the burn

I miss you
I think of you when I meditate
when I’m in the forest I create in my minds eye
I try not to
but I deliberate
should I call and say good bye

It took us months and miles to fade away
I didn’t expect you to…
I didn’t expect you…
I didn’t expect to feel this way

I smeared myself with the scent of coconuts
Just the way you like it
In hopes that you would take part in my
Tropicality
But in actuality
I was a deserted island
Unmarked
In the middle of the ocean
Filled with the songs of beautiful birds
Science had not yet named
