it's all the way
and it took so long to bear
and we've been waiting
for it.
all the words
I said
were wrong.
I've been better,
but I've been worse.
your lips were missed
below my mustache,
and the snow snuck up on us
and all we had to do is touch.
I'd give anything
to dance with you,
even though you don't dance anymore.
when the day,
when the day,
I will be reaching for you
with nights between us.
we can go all the way
to the store,
since NYC.
