| I said, yes...
to being in your company, in a virtual place. would you be with me? I said, yes... to an intimate relationship, that could outlast this. Words, they fall from a lip. I said, yes... to a meeting that's real. You said, no. (there was someone else) what did you steal? to another that would. You said, why less? Was I confused, is this a should? I said, yes... then, I said, no. Should I try again? Oh...it was not so long ago! There was hesitation and refrain I don't always know what's best? I said, yes.. I said, yes...
let's do this. I said, quietly, ah oh!... The fragile bubble burst. this feels familiar? I denied it was. Again, I said, yes, to her Oh...the things that she does! and yes, so did you Was it a mending, inside of this, it was who? What was it you were sending? am I a fool? I said, who is this? the tears fall in the pool She said, a good friend, welcome back! Wow! thank you, she sure is. While I thought... I just don't know anymore? What's it all for? I shared all of me. There were no surprises, nothing to hide. Can I say that of you, can you see? Then I lost you, nowhere to be found. The words could not express. Not a phone ringing, not even a sound. Why did I say yes? by Gary Hodges...February 9, 1998 |
