To Pluto Girl
You know who you are
You are
My everything,
Truly.
More than playful
Simplicity
I need you
For mental
Stability.
I need your smile
And laugh
Your warm
Embrace
Your judgments and
Your praise.
We are collectively gone
From our shared world.
Moved on,
To new smiles,
Praises, embraces.
New buildings
In different cities,
Different protocols
And projects
And people.
Same idea
Same time
But we’re pushing open
Different doors
To different colored lockers,
And the sunsets
We’ll run off to
Take place on different shores.
But I still see you
On my right
As though
We’re in a collage
About going
Separate ways.
There’s sad,
Empowering music playing
And the audience
Is crying,
Cause we weren’t meant
To be apart.
But things are great
And sweet and cool
And new
And exciting
And my heart never stops racing
With a pounding
Ever present
Self consciousness.
And it’s crazy
And it’s fun
But things are hard
And your absence doesn’t help.
So all this to say,
I miss you.
