Rock.

You were in my dream again last night.

It felt so real.

Waking up knowing that won’t ever be reality.

You are gone.

You do not think of me.

I do not mean anything to do.

Why can’t I escape you.

Buddy.

You said you love that I’m older.

“Why?” I asked.

“You always have such good things to say. You always have the answers. I knew if I called you tonight, you’d know what to say.”

Maybe, maybe that has more to do with how I feel about you.

Pilot.

All this time with you

Did I just hear what I wanted to hear?

Or did you make me promises?

Promises you had no intention to keep.

Your words were sticky and smooth and addictive.

The sugar coating on a sour patch watermelon

my airplane snack.

But I don’t think I want to fly anymore

No flying with you.

No flying to you.

No flying for you.
