Handsome You

Handsome you Why did I not see You would interrupt my life Send all seeds blowing Like a dandelion wish Upwards, outwards, til finally No longer there Handsome you How did I blindly follow All the pretty pictures Of mountains and misty eyed lovemaking Without noticing you were packing your boxes All the while Handsome you When will I learn that nothing Is nothing new Once love tiptoes away in the early day fog I have grown so used to goodbyes With you Never have I said it so many times To one man, knowing I never truly meant it To be our last I liked to say 'See you soon' Simply because I could not see me Not loving you longer Handsome you We were so pretty together Every waitress in every diner told us so I believed their every word In your hand, mine felt small But it fit just right Now I have to hope you are running so fast With such energized cylinders That you forget you'd like some dark haired beauty To settle against your back I fool myself into a hiatus reprieve Back to sketching charcoal images of the you I so wanted to cocoon with 'See you soon'...With enough salted tears To overflow my Atlantic Ocean
