What letting go of you looks like:

There’s a pool of water that seems to rise: wall-like, impenetrable and I think of crossing over. Then I remember how I tried; fashioned a boat out of my heart to get to the other side, only to be disappointed. So I stand here now looking into this aquarium housed of your heart and wonder—when’s the next time you’ll get fed.

every morning i wake up, to miss you

and i go to bed at night, to miss you.

there’s an ending to this day, and it begins with i love you.

between the door and your soul

and the lingering scent of ash on your breath, the imprint of your careful lips, the palm of your hand and the nape of my neck, your nimble fingers fastened against,

the subtle hold, the pause, the go, the release to make a point and back to feel as if we were home,

this is where I belong, this is where I long to be left,

The Road Not Taken

BY ROBERT FROST

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

“Most people never pick up the phone and call. Most people never ask, and that’s what separates the people who do things from the people who just dream about them.”

“You’ve got to be willing to crash and burn. If you’re afraid of failing, you won’t get very far,”
