connections without capability

I Remember

 

I remember

First a twinge

Soon full out hand springs

Inside of me

You were becoming someone

Anxious for space you came out

So much to learn now, you and me

I watched you unfold

Growing, learning changing

 

I remember

The walks talks thoughts

The drives the rides the hurrying

Eating on the run

Teaching laughing crying worrying

And yes, fighting

To figure out who you were

Your place in the world

 

I stop

Dry my eyes and wonder

Do you remember?

So far away for you now that time

 

So close for me still

Shadows of a different world, our world

I wish, I wonder, I wait for your call
