cold water falls from the sky

and the thunder makes me wonder

where you and I went wrong

so very long ago

did you always know I would be ok

or was there ever  a doubt in your mind

when you walked away?

the lightening claps with thunderous applause

lauding the trees for their growth

and the grass for its greenness

did you see it? did you?

that time I was playing soccer

and I ran so hard my chest exploded into a million different pieces

I ran so hard for you, I was so mad at you.

did you catch the rivers of sweat

or the

sticky jersey

did you?

or that time

she said I love you

at the corner of Valley Hi and Franklin

I turned to her

cold and uncaring

asking

what do you expect me to say?

did you see it? did you?

that was you…. that was us….

cold water pours from the heavens

and ten years later

I am still wondering

where are you

and what are you doing

do I look like you, is what they all say true?

are we really all that much alike?

and if we are
