plane fare for coffee i dislike
spending for plane fare
just to have coffee,

how there are no spontaneous
'let's hang out
and watch a movie' nights,

how most conversations
take place emoticon to emoticon
instead of face to face.

rare is the comfort
of taking the 'passenger seat.'

yes. this necessary moment
is done. there's
'glass is half full' moments -

taking walks in different cities
listening to our thoughts,
a first date by the bluff,
shooting stars,
the decadence of watching tv together.
movies,
coffees,
dessert,
walks,
drives -
momentous occasions.

'glass is half full' moments
need to outweigh
'glass is half empty' moments.

you will never know difference
if you're blind
to the worst things.

after everything,
i will take the seconds
that made everything worthwhile,

behold them
then store them
for safekeeping.

for cheryl the brave, wendel the king and grace the forgiving.  ¶ 10/23/2004 01:40:00 AM
