Different places now:
You show up in different places now
before I memorize your expressions
you to come and go so freely in my mind
you always left a sour taste
the taste became more familiar in June
when my words would make your eyes widen and your face crunch
like a sweet summer raisin
but these raisins take forever to harvest
you see and I am impatient
but for you
I wait
you show up in different places now
I loved every version of you
you first showed up on my phone
then in my car
my house
September came
And for a moment you rested in my arms
a few days later you were gone
I panic trying to grasp any piece of evidence you were ever there at all
all I had was your taste
now it was all I craved
you were gone
you show up in different places now
the song through my car speakers
a T-shirt in my closet
smooth hands and a cigarette scent
I don’t think will ever speak again
