Do You Miss Her Yet?

My mind can’t help but worry why you’ve been

silent this weekend.

Why you didn’t want to see me, when I asked you

to date me or come home.

Do you miss her yet?

Do you miss your inside jokes with her?

The way you both laughed at things I would never understand?

Do you miss the electricity she ignited through your veins?

Was I ever a spark, or just the outlet you grounded yourself in?

Do you miss the love-bomb texts that made your phone light up like fireworks?

The 81 missed calls in four hours

Was that chaos comforting, somehow?

Did it make you feel wanted? 

Do you miss her blonde hair?

Her thin body?

Her wild smile that didn’t carry the weight of the

life we built or the debt were in? 

Do you miss the sex talk?

Do you miss the way she made you feel reckless?

Do you miss talking about being hopelessly lost together? 

Will the ocean always remind you of her now?



I wonder if you ache for her in the quiet.

I wonder if being back with me feels like settling

into stillness after a storm you secretly crave.

Is it hard for you now, not having that chaos?

Is it hard to be with someone who sees you instead of devours you?

Will I ever be enough to fill the void she left behind?

Or am I just the safe place you retreat to when the fire burns too hot?

Because some days,

I can’t tell

if you’re trying to love me,

or just trying to forget her.

I made a map for our lovely story so I could stop getting confused about where places are.

#RIP #Pat Martino When I first started learning how to play #jazz (having come from a rock background) naturally I had a great admiration and reverence for the legends I was introduced to, but I also had a hard time relating to any of the bebop language. But there was one guitarist who’s phrasing and attitude resonated with me right from the first note. Pat would play these seemingly impossible long runs so smoothly and effortlessly. He definitely stood out for me. (Influenced my time, phrasing, approach, legato/picking technique etc) I remember feeling like hey if I’m gonna play this stuff I wanna sound like this cat not only is he swinging but he’s shredding through the changes with his own unique style and flare. Then I remember talking to my teacher about him and he shared Pats UNBELIEVABLE backstory with me. Pat had had a seizure that not only caused amnesia but dramatically affected his physical health. Consequently, he had completely forgotten how to play & couldn’t even remember that he had had a successful career as one of the greats. Pat not only went on to learn how to play all over again from his own recordings 🤯🤯🤯 but did so in spite of his unfortunate physical limitations!! Talk about an inspirational story! This guy accomplished twice as much as any of us ever will in one lifetime with a mountain of obstacles. So for me the take away is “nothing is impossible” if you set your mind to it. Thank you Pat you were one in a billion 🙏🏽 #RIH #fearless #tenacious #goat #inspirational #legendary #againstallodds (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVyFOUzv-Rk/?utm_medium=tumblr

The horrible truth is that not everything happens for a reason. Sometimes people make the wrong decisions for the wrong reasons and they are forced to live with them. You can’t turn back the clocks and redo life. You make a mistake and you pay the price. I give you the cold hard truth about life. You can’t change a decision you’ve already made, wrong or right. You can’t bring them back and you can’t fall in love again. There are no second chances in the cold world. But on the loneliest nights, you can look up at the moon and smile, I do. Because although now we walk different paths with different people and though I know the years will pass and we will not be together, I’ll always remember that for a brief, fraction of time, against all odds, our stars crossed. It ended, and that is agonizing. But we got a moment. And that has to be enough for me.
