Neal

please try to remember
how happy i was
that you happened to me.

when the time comes, please let go.

give me back to the sky.

i think i hear the phone
in my sleep

and i still see you
wandering through my dreams

but you don’t call,
and we don’t speak.

and it’s true: there is a hollow where your heart used to be.

you have the map now

you always
will

i pressed it into your skin
on those rainy nights
you slept beside me
in that other life

use it

use it and
find me

before it’s too late
