#filterlysspoetry: "the outline of my lips on that piece of paper i left in your glove compartm
i sometimes wonder
if you've found
the outline of my lips
on that piece of paper
i left
in your glove compartment
on the first day
of your "big boy" job.
i wonder how long it took after
i left
for you to
open that compartment
and remember
how big my love is
and how much it scared me
that i didn't know
if yours was as big.
i wonder how often you miss me
and if it's as much as i miss you.
i wonder if we share sleepless nights
even though
we no longer share a bed.
i wonder if we share songs
from the soundtracks
to our sleepless nights.
i wonder how it's possible
that you might not miss me
as much as i miss you,
even though my love
was wrapped around you
like a blanket.
i guess when your love is so big
your loss is bigger.
when i tried to unwrap
my love from you,
the blanket blew away.
but i still hope you found
the outline of my lips
on that piece of paper
i left
in your glove compartment.
and i hope it made you wonder.
